Maybe a non-default FILLFACTOR was set on some tables/indexes?
Or - especially if restore was done as schema followed by data rather
than all in one - the index creation and subsequent updates freed too
many pages?
Personally, I'd recommend moving to 8.4 or above, where you no longer
need worry about the free space map at all.
