Well the way Postgres disables a plan node type is by giving it a cost of
100,000,000. What other way did you expect it to be able to scan
tbl_filetype_suffix anyways? What indexes do you have on tbl_filetype_suffix?

And any chance you could resend this stuff without the word-wrapping?
It's pretty hard to read like this:

"                                      ->  Seq Scan on tbl_filetype_suffix
(cost=100000000.00..100000001.34 rows=14  width=8) (actual time=0.133..0.176
rows=14 loops=1)"
"                                            Filter: (filetype_suffix_index IS
TRUE)"
