What does explain show for the two queries and what are the table schemas?
You're probably ending up with different plans since in one case it has
a plain column reference and in the other it has a marginally complicated
expression in the join condition.

As something to try, perhaps make a function that returns
trunc($1/100000.0)*100000 and index on that function for the column and
see if that changes the plan you get.
