Beside LATERAL vars, it seems that SJR doesn't play well with TABLESAMPLE
in general. For instance:
CREATE TABLE t (a int unique);
INSERT INTO t SELECT * FROM generate_series (1,100);

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT * FROM t TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI(1)) t1
 NATURAL JOIN (SELECT * FROM t TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI(100)) t2;
returned 100, 100, 100 for me, though with enable_self_join_removal = off,
I got 4, 0, 1...

Best regards,
