Hmm... I don't see why it would make any difference in 7.1
either. You weren't by any chance selecting on the most common
actor_id were you? Really 7.1 only has two possible selectivity
estimates for column = 'constant' --- either the constant is the
stored most-common-value, or it ain't. What do you get from
select attname,attdispersion,s.*
from pg_statistic s, pg_attribute a, pg_class c
where starelid = c.oid and attrelid = c.oid and staattnum = attnum
and relname = 'actor_case_assignment';
in each database?

Are you really comparing apples to apples here? I'd think that a proper
comparison of plans would be
monroe=# explain select * from actor_cases where actor_id = 'A7313 53';
develop=# explain select * from actor_cases where actor_id = '18105A7313 53';
