I'm guessing this is a variant of the problem Philip Warner reported
yesterday. Probably WAL-related. Vadim?

FULL JOIN currently is only implementable by mergejoin (if you can
figure out how to do it with a nest or hash join, I'm all ears...).
I guess it's a bug that the planner honors enable_mergejoin = OFF
even when given a FULL JOIN query. (At least the failure detection
code works, though ;-).) I'll see what I can do about that.
I'd be inclined *not* to add ORDER BYs just to make regressplans produce
zero diffs in all cases. The presence of an ORDER BY may cause the
planner to prefer presorted-output plans, thus defeating the purpose
of testing all plan types...
