Hmm ... I had noticed the execution of that in a subplan, but it appeared
that the subplan was being done the same number of times and took about
the same amount of time in both 9.0 and 9.3, so I'd discounted it as the
source of trouble. Still, it's hard to argue with experimental evidence.

Yeah, that looks like performance trouble waiting to happen --- it's not
clear what would bound the recursion, for one thing. Have you considered
replacing this with a RECURSIVE UNION construct? Wasn't there in 9.0
of course, but 9.3 can do that.
