Sure did.  I tried a sort value too low and it complained.

Yes.  In your test:
 ./bin/postmaster -B 2000 -i $DEBUG --enable_hashjoin=false --enable-mergejoin=false

I get from a restarted postmaster:
test=> show enable_hashjoin;NOTICE:  enable_hashjoin is offSHOW VARIABLEtest=> show enable_mergejoin;NOTICE:
enable_mergejoinis offSHOW VARIABLE
