And of course I forgot to include the plans from master, so here we go:

select * from f join a on (f1 = a1 and f2 = a2);
                                QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hash Join  (rows=10) (actual rows=100000)
HashCond: ((f.f1 = a.a1) AND (f.f2 = a.a2))   ->  Seq Scan on f  (rows=100000) (actual rows=100000)   ->  Hash
(rows=10000)(actual rows=10000)         Buckets: 16384  Batches: 1  Memory Usage: 519kB         ->  Seq Scan on a
(rows=10000)(actual rows=10000)
 


select * from f join a on (f1 = a1 and f2 = a2)                join b on (f3 = b1 and f4 = b2);
                                QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nested Loop  (rows=1) (actual rows=100000)

onf  (rows=100000) (actual rows=100000)         ->  Hash  (rows=10000) (actual rows=10000)               Buckets: 16384

usingb_pkey on b  (rows=1) (actual rows=1)         Index Cond: ((b1 = f.f3) AND (b2 = f.f4))
