AFAIK, the only change from 7.2 to 7.2.1 that would be likely to have
anything to do with this was a rework of the code in ANALYZE that
estimates the number of distinct values in a column.  (See pghackers
archives from around 18-Feb.)  Although the revised version did better
on some test cases, it sounds like it's doing worse for you.

As Nigel commented, we can't do much without seeing EXPLAIN ANALYZE
results.  I'd also like to see the pg_stats entries for the table(s)
used by the query, as produced by both 7.2 ANALYZE and 7.2.1 ANALYZE.

                        regards, tom lane
