Comment (by robe):

 On closer inspection, there are two things going on here.  I think our
 postgis_upgrade.sql is missing casts for box3d_extent.  I had two versions
 of this database. One I restored on top of a fresh 1.4 vanilla db and one
 I upgraded with the upgrade script.  I think its the one I upgraded that
 was missing the auto cast.  Though hmm I think the other one is giving a

 ERROR:  function get_coords(box3d_extent) is not unique
 LINE 6:        get_coords(ST_Extent(the_geom)) As acoord

 (because I have one function for geometry and one for box2d to handle the
 extent.) In that on. So I had to delete my box2d one and create nothing or
 create a box3d_extent.  Resulting in very sluggish performance (though
 that may be unrelated) Still need to investigate why its no longer using
 an index.

  I guess I'll have to retrace my steps on this one to figure out if this
 is just an isolated issue on my database.
