backend started after a VACUUM will rebuild the init file with up-to-date
statistics for the critical system indexes.

This makes no difference to the optimizer, which has already decided what
it's gonna do, but it makes the output of EXPLAIN much more plausible.

sequential scan of the same tuples...

that, but it'd be a New Feature, wouldn't it ... in the meantime,
avoiding a backend crash seems worthwhile.

Things are better now.

the database encoding and the client encoding match the encoding expected

multibyte environments other than the compiled-in default.
