Indeed, work_mem is probably the problem. The critical difference
between the two plans seems to be that the first one is using a
"hashed subplan" and the second one isn't. Assuming the same datatypes
in both databases, the only reason not to use a hashed subplan is if
the hashtable is estimated not to fit in work_mem.
