It does. Only there's often more than one way to get the correct
result; and PostgreSQL picks the plan which looks "best". And just
for the record: you haven't actually claimed that PostgreSQL returns
the wrong result. The only observation you gave was that PostgreSQL
"sometimes" switches the way to get that result. And to that the
answer is "yes, it does".

I wouldn't know about that, there are pre-built packages available
for my systems (which I can install with one command). Anyway, I
use psql for about all things PostgreSQL.

First of all, we'd need to see a problem. As long as the correct data
is returned (and/or written), there is no obvious problem. How PostgreSQL
handles your query is for most cases an implementation detail, which
"normal" users can safely ignore.
The only problem we have seen so far was in rw_redis_fdw (and it has
been fixed) - it could not handle all the plans PostgreSQL could use.
