I do not have 9.1 handy but this is from 9.0.4:
db=# EXPLAIN select dates.datetime, myfact.recorded_on_id from myfact,
dates where myfact.recorded_on_id = dates.recorded_on_id and
dates.recorded_on_id in (1813, 1814);

Postgres can't infer that myfact.recorded_on_id is in (1813, 1814)
from the join condition (myfact.recorded_on_id = dates.recorded_on_id)
hence all partitons are included (myfact_y2004w51, myfact_y2004w53,
myfact_y2004w53). Adding "myfact.recorded_on_id in (1813, 1814)"
creates much better plan:
db=# EXPLAIN select dates.datetime, myfact.recorded_on_id from myfact,
dates where myfact.recorded_on_id = dates.recorded_on_id and
dates.recorded_on_id in (1813, 1814) and myfact.recorded_on_id in
(1813, 1814);
