Possible regression (at least for me :D) in 4.2.M1-SNAPSHOT

I'm experiencing crazy slow query times since I updated to this version.
The only thing I see is that it's structuring the queries slightly
differently.  For example:  4.1.M3-SNAPSHOT:

SELECT DISTINCT t0.birthday, t0.contact_id, t0.contact_lead_source,
t0.contact_status, t0.create_date, t0.glove_user, t0.graduation_date,
t0.name_first, t0.name_last, t0.name_middle, t0.name_prefix,
t0.name_salutation, t0.name_tag, t0.national_provider_id, t0.notes,
t0.professional_designation, t0.specialty FROM customer.dbo.contact t0
*JOIN* customer.dbo.contact_affiliations t1 ON (t0.contact_id =
t1.contact_id) WHERE t1.company_id = ? AND t1.contact_id = ?

and now:

SELECT DISTINCT t0.birthday, t0.contact_id, t0.contact_lead_source,
t0.contact_status, t0.create_date, t0.glove_user, t0.graduation_date,
t0.name_first, t0.name_last, t0.name_middle, t0.name_prefix,
t0.name_salutation, t0.name_tag, t0.national_provider_id, t0.notes,
t0.professional_designation, t0.specialty FROM customer.dbo.contact t0 *LEFT
JOIN* customer.dbo.contact_affiliations t1 ON t0.contact_id = t1.contact_id
WHERE *( ( t1.company_id = ? ) AND ( t1.contact_id = ? ) )*

The only thing I can think is that Sybase's (my DB) query optimizer isn't
happy with the LEFT JOIN.  In DbPathProcessor it's always specifying a
JoinType.LEFT_OUTER for relationship joins...this doesn't seem right to me,
but I might be misunderstanding what's going on.

Thoughts?
