How long did you wait? In one of my tests the query took over three
times as long to finish in 8.1.1 as it did in 8.0.5, but it did finish.
However, EXPLAIN fails in 8.1.1:

test=> EXPLAIN SELECT ...
ERROR: record type has not been registered

Something about the information_schema.element_types view seems to
be the problem:

test=> EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM information_schema.element_types;
ERROR: record type has not been registered
