I don't know why the plan is not saved by auto_explain (maybe we're
missing ExecutorEnd calls somewhere?  that would be strange), but one
frequent reason for queries to show different plan in JDBC than psql is
the use of prepared statements.  Did you try using "PREPARE
yourquery(...)" and then EXPLAIN EXECUTE(...)?  Sometimes that helps to
recreate the original problem.


(Apparently, ExecutorEnd is called from PortalCleanup; what happens with
the portal for an extended-protocol query?)
