The attached crude hack makes it not do that, but I wonder whether it
won't prevent use of bitmap AND in some cases where we'd rather it did
use an AND. Want to try it out?
Possibly a more salient question is why are you bothering with two
indexes defined like that. Now that I look closely, they seem pretty
redundant.
