It could be interesting to run the query without the condition
(keywords_tsv @@ '''assassinat'''::tsquery) to see the estimate of
(fulltext_tsv @@ '''claud'' & ''duviau'''::tsquery) in 8.4.

Btw, what Tom means by increasing the statistics is executing the
following queries:
ALTER TABLE libeindex ALTER COLUMN fulltext_tsv SET STATISTICS 500;
ANALYZE;
run your query with EXPLAIN ANALYZE;
ALTER TABLE libeindex ALTER COLUMN fulltext_tsv SET STATISTICS 1000;
ANALYZE;
run your query with EXPLAIN ANALYZE;
ALTER TABLE libeindex ALTER COLUMN fulltext_tsv SET STATISTICS 5000;
ANALYZE;
run your query with EXPLAIN ANALYZE;

to see if it improves the estimates.
