The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      2839
Logged by:          Vladimir
Email address:      dvs@fon.kamchatka.ru
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.3
Operating system:   FreeBSD
Description:        after record with NULL field, query result is wrong
Details:

create table tst (a int[]);
insert into tst values ('{1}'); -- (1)
insert into tst values (null);
insert into tst values ('{2}'); -- (3)
select z.a from tst z where exists (select 1 from
(
select generate_series(1,1) as s,* from (select z.a as arr0) qq
) q
where (q.arr0[q.s] is null)  );
  a
-----

 {2}
(2 rows)

-- What difference between (1) and (3) records?
-- really, my query more complex (auto generated) and table has many
columns, wrong rows return after row where tested field is null

Hmm, surprising this hasn't been found before, because the underlying
bug has been around for a long time :-(.  Fix committed --- thanks for
the report!
