Are you sure you need VACUUM FULL?  If you're vacuuming often enough
and your free space map settings are adequate then plain VACUUM
(without FULL) should suffice for routine use.

Equal how?  Number of tables?  Number of tuples?  Disk space used?
Activity, especially updates and deletes?  All of the above?

Have you used VACUUM VERBOSE to see how much work each VACUUM is doing?

Is it possible that 8.1 was built with --enable-cassert and 8.0
wasn't?  What does "SHOW debug_assertions" show on each server?
