OUTER JOIN performance regression remains in 8.3beta4

There was a serious performance regression in OUTER JOIN planning
going from 8.2.4 to 8.2.5. I know Tom came up with some patches to
mitigate the issues in 8.2.5, but my testing shows that problems
remain in 8.3beta4.

The query:

SELECT
"CH"."caseNo",
"CH"."countyNo",
"CH"."chargeNo",
"CH"."statuteCite",
"CH"."sevClsCode",
"CH"."modSevClsCode",
"S"."descr" AS "sevClsCodeDescr",
"M"."descr" AS "modSevClsCodeDescr",
"CH"."descr",
"CH"."offenseDate",
"CH"."pleaCode",
"PC"."descr" AS "pleaCodeDescr",
"CH"."pleaDate",
"CH"."chargeSeqNo",
"CHST"."eventDate" AS "reopEventDate",
"CTHE"."descr" AS "reopEventDescr"
FROM "Charge" "CH"
LEFT OUTER JOIN "SevClsCode" "S" ON ("S"."sevClsCode" = "CH"."sevClsCode")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "SevClsCode" "M" ON ("M"."sevClsCode" = "CH"."modSevClsCode")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "PleaCode" "PC" ON ("PC"."pleaCode" = "CH"."pleaCode")
LEFT OUTER JOIN "CaseHist" "CHST"
ON ( "CHST"."countyNo" = "CH"."countyNo"
AND "CHST"."caseNo" = "CH"."caseNo"
AND "CHST"."histSeqNo" = "CH"."reopHistSeqNo"
)
LEFT OUTER JOIN "CaseTypeHistEvent" "CTHE"
ON ( "CHST"."eventType" = "CTHE"."eventType"
AND "CHST"."caseType" = "CTHE"."caseType"
AND "CHST"."countyNo" = "CTHE"."countyNo"
)
WHERE "CH"."caseNo" = '2007CM003476'
AND "CH"."countyNo" = 53
ORDER BY
"chargeNo",
"chargeSeqNo"
;

The attached EXPLAIN ANALYZE results show:

(1) A run of the above under 8.3beta4.

(2) A run of the above under 8.2.4.

(3) A run of the above with all OUTER JOINs changed to INNER under 8.3beta4.
