I haven't looked through all your email yet, but this phenomena have been up
at the list a couple of times. Try replacing "now() - interval '24 hours'"
with a fixed time stamp, and see if it helps.

pg7 will plan the query without knowledge of what "now() - interval '24
hours'" will compute to. This should be fixed in pg8.
