We encountered this problem using version 7.2.3; i just checked on my mac

I'm still trying to understand this behaviour. Has the messageblks table
been vacuumed recently? In the case of the database on your mac, it may be
just a copy loaded from a dump, in which case vacuum is not necesary...
[Reason is ask: One possible cause of this problem is a table *file* that
is very large and full of unused space. The optimizer does a very bad job
in this case].
