That was a typo, sorry.  Did do the same thing on original table.  I did
the same thing to attributes_log because I have rules that log data
there from my original table on insert/update/delete.

I just dropped my logging rules, stopped the database and restarted it,
put my rules back in place, and now it works.  Not sure why.  Cached
query plan?
