It looks like the following commit to osm2pgsql might have been the issue:

r25689 | giggls | 2011-03-24 09:25:24 -0600 (Thu, 24 Mar 2011) | 9 lines

Minor rework of hstore functionality:


* Do not add a key to the hstore column if there is an exclusive column for
  this key by
* Add an additional commandline switch to restore the original behaviour
  to add any key
* remove the "z_order" special key from hstore in any case


I did not use the additional commandline switch to move back to the
original behaviour.

Coming to think of it, I thought I saw a commit changing the behaviour
back again, but I can't find it anymore.

No I am not a subscriber, but why aren't those archives public?!

OK, so the question is now what to do?

Does anyone know of an sql query that could be run to pull data from the
normal columns and insert it into the hstore?

I'd be somewhat reluctant to do a full re-import of the database.
