I just created the combined index to simplify the output. With two 
indexes, it does the usual bitmap index scan. Even then the row estimate 
is off by a factor of 1000, which is the actual problem.

The other reason I tried the combined index was that there was some 
noise a while back about having the planner check for possible column 
correlations on composite indexes. Clearly that ended up not being the 
case, but it was worth examination.
