How are you generating the explain?  My bet is that you're just
substituting a literal in the architecture condition, but if the driver
is smart then maybe it's preparating the query beforehand.  You'll get a
different plan in that case.  Try something like this:

prepare foo(smallint) as ...
   where libinstance.architecture = $1
   ...

explain analyze execute foo(1);

If the plan you get from that is bad (and it often is), you should look
at avoiding a query prepare.
