This is expected: Postgres' internal index API is based around
operators, therefore anything that doesn't look something like
"indexcol operator value" isn't a candidate for an index restriction.

There is a hack in CVS tip that special-cases indexes on boolean
columns so that the above case works, but it's not in any released
version.
