But that again shows only five seconds runtime.  If you repeat the query
several dozen times in a row, run the same way each time, do you get
consistent timings?

Can you put together a self-contained test case to duplicate these
results?  I'm prepared to believe there's some sort of planner
regression involved here, but we'll never find it without a test case.
