This seems to likely be the same, still open, bug reported previously:

No Number Assigned:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CANCipfpfzoYnOz5jj=UZ70_R=CwDHv36dqWSpwsi27vpm1z5sA@mail.gmail.com

#8464
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/E1VN53g-0002Iy-Il@wrigleys.postgresql.org

#8470 is referenced in the first thread as well...though that is
specifically a performance issue and not a query bug.

The recommended work-around is to move the sub-query using the "FOR UPDATE"
into a CTE.
