BTW, what's the datatype(s) of the join columns? The behavior looks
consistent with the idea that the planner doesn't think it can commute
the join conditions, which would be a bug/omission in the set of
operators existing for the datatype(s). I believe we've got commutators
for all the standard '=' operators, but a contrib or third-party
datatype might be missing this.
