On an extensive enough test - you will find optimizer anomalies like this
in all RDBMS-es. They won't be in the same place (same combination of
queries and data), but there is a reason why most of them have index
hinting features (and in those that don't, it is a common feature request).
No optimizer is ever perfect, it's all based in heuristics to make educated
guesses.
