Why would this trivial query run forever at 100% CPU?

My bet is that there's a lot of rows in version that have a higher version than what's in sample. That means a lot of repeated scans through the tuplestore underneath the Materialize node.

If you can remove duplicates from sample and get rid of the DISTINCT, this will probably get a better plan. If you can't do that then you could try changing the JOIN to an IN:

SELECT ... FROM sample
  WHERE version_id IN (SELECT version_id FROM sample)
