Comment (by robe):

 It sounds similar to the bug we had a while ago where the bboxes were not
 being regenerated, though that was a GIST bug fixed in 8.3.5.  I suspect
 this one is tooa gist bug too.

 I also tried with 8.3.7 (and if I remove the RECHECK (basically running
 with a 1.3.7)), it behaves badly like the 1.4.0.  So its nothing different
 in our codebase -- just that RECHECK that is camouflaging what I think to
 be a gist bug.  I'm not even quite clear what RECHECK does.  Mark or Paul
 -- can you explain that.  I'm concerned this is serious that may bite us
 in other unpredictable ways with the more common &&.
