I'm pretty sure that it's not about the query (see below).

As googling the error quickly reveals
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/5863.1138032323@sss.pgh.pa.us
and Tom Lane usually knows what he's talking about, I'd check for data
corruption.

Good luck!

Standard Postgres contains neither any nvl() function nor a four-argument
version of decode().  A theory worth considering therefore is that this
is a bug in whatever extension is providing those functions.  If, as I
suspect, you're running EDB's version of Postgres, you would be well
advised to turn to them for support.
