Ok... I figured it out... When I was doing the guc patch I modified my
startdb.sh script such that it passes settings on the command line to
postmaster. There I changed seq_page_cost. I know that I have removed those
settings on my laptop computer since then but I seem to have copied it here
on my other machine at that time and so it started with a different
seq_page_cost... *blushing*...

Sorry for the noise... Interesting though that it only made a difference to
the cluster test...
