No, that's another thing I already tried tweaking and should have mentioned.
Neither count(*) nor count(l.num) have any influence on the plan.

Following Kevin's advice (thanks!) I read the SlowQueryQuestions wiki page and
learned about the "buffers" EXPLAIN option:

    EXPLAIN (analyze,buffers) SELECT count(l.num) AS count_1 FROM master_l10n l JOIN master m ON m.num = l.num WHERE l.lang = 'it' AND lower(l.text) LIKE 'quattro%';
                                                                          QUERY PLAN
