Yeah, the trick is to get it to a digestable test case. The basic
scenario (there are more tables & columns in the actual case) is a set
of tables partitioned by date with a number of columns in one table
referencing rows in the others:

Table A (~5bn rows / 100's of partitions)
time Bkey1 Ckey1 Bkey2 Ckey2

Table B (~1bn rows / 100's of partitions)
Bkey Bval

Table C (~.5bn rows / 100's of partitions)
Ckey Cval

Bkey and Ckey are unique, but the planner doesn't know that.
