Since both tables have column id2, not id, the problem has certainly not
got anything to do with referencing the wrong table.

The actual problem here is that "id" is a perfectly valid outer
reference from the sub-select. Think of this as
select count(*) from full_sequence(1, 100) as x
where x.id in (select x.id from f1);
That WHERE clause will always succeed as long as f1 isn't empty
(and id isn't null).
