I think the problem is not there at all, but with drastic
underestimation of the number of rows coming from f_pageviews:

The plan you say is failing is trying to load this result into a
hashtable ... and since it's only expecting 1 row, it's not going
to try to partition the hashtable or anything like that.

Are your ANALYZE stats for f_pageviews up to date?  Perhaps you need to
increase the stats target for date_key to get more resolution in the
stats.
