Which row do you want ? Do you want 'a row' at random ?
I presume you want the N latest rows ?
In that case you should use an ORDER BY on an indexed field, the serial
primary key will do nicely (ORDER BY id DESC) ; it's indexed so it will
use the index and it will fly.

Any ideas how to make it work (other than rewriting the query to use
subselects, use explicit id-rows, disabling hashjoin completely)?
Or is this a bug?

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
