After some experimentation I was able to create a similar misbehavior
here.  I think what is happening is that the added index is capturing
the bitmap scan plan, even though it ends up making that plan more
expensive and thus a loser to the plain indexscan.  The reason is this
bug:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2006-06/msg00064.php
which makes choose_bitmap_and sort the available indexes in the wrong
order.
