Thanks for the suggestions.  I've verified the same problem in 8.1.3 as well,
after my initial post.  It was actually in 8.1.3 that I first discovered the
problem.

I noticed this item in the TODO list:

- Allow accurate statistics to be collected on indexes with more than one
column or expression indexes, perhaps using per-index statistics

This is what I need!  But until that is added, I need a way to use the primary
key with the current version :)

Thanks,
Brian
