Of course your test case is controlling for work_mem, but
I wonder whether temp_buffers could affect this. I think
that those are only used for user-defined temp tables, not
the temp files a batched hashjoin creates, but maybe I'm
misremembering.

That is a very strong clue. Check for property differences (e.g.
with psql's "\l+" and "\drds") between the new test database and
the database where you see the problem.
