Yeah, I got the same result in a 32-bit FreeBSD VM. Probably, the two
plans are of effectively-identical estimated cost, and there's some
roundoff effect in those estimates that differs between machines with
4-byte and 8-byte MAXALIGN.

You could likely stabilize the plan choice by joining two tables that
aren't of identical size -- maybe add an additional WHERE constraint
on one of the tables?
