Ah, so really your question is why join_collapse_limit isn't working as
you expect.  That code changed quite a bit in 8.2, and the way it works
now is that the critical decision occurs while deciding whether to fold
the cross-join (a sub-problem of size 2) into the top-level join
problem.  Which is a decision that's going to be driven by
from_collapse_limit not join_collapse_limit.

So one way you could make it work is to reduce from_collapse_limit to
less than 3, but I suspect you'd find that that has too many bad
consequences for other queries.  What's probably best is to write the
problem query like this:

       FROM table1 a cross join ( table2 b cross join table3 c )

which will cause join_collapse_limit to be the relevant number at both
steps.
