I don't think that that is a bug, rather it is just how JIT works at the
moment (that it is recompiled for each execution).  That might be improved
in a future version.

For the slow down to be 10x though does seem rather extreme.  Could you
isolate the query and post an execution with "EXPLAIN (ANALYZE)"?  I
suspect it is a very cheap query (e.g. a single-row update), but for some
reason the planner thinks it is expensive, and so JIT kicks in when it
shouldn't.  Because of the high overhead, JIT is only supposed to activate
for expensive queries, see jit_above_cost.
