I made an expression index specifically for that where clause:

No, you haven't. What you've done here is create an index *for that expression*. And it's not terribly useful because your expression will only have two possible values: true, false.

What you were after is something like:

CREATE INDEX special_idx2 ON my_table (id) WHERE (...long expression...)
