OK, that confirms the suspicion that beta1's FK-join-estimation logic
is the culprit here. We had already decided that that logic is broken,
and there's a rewrite in progress:

I wonder though whether the rewrite will fix your example. Could you
either make some test data available, or try HEAD + aforesaid patch
to see if it behaves sanely on your data?
