Poor man's partitioned index .... not being used?

Hi all, look at this short story please:

foo=# CREATE TABLE Test(id int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);
CREATE TABLE
foo=# INSERT INTO test SELECT row_number() OVER() FROM pg_class a CROSS JOIN pg_class b;
INSERT 0 388129
foo=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM Test WHERE id = '8934';
QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index Only Scan using test_pkey on test (cost=0.42..8.44 rows=1 width=4)
Index Cond: (id = 8934)
(2 rows)

foo=# ALTER TABLE Test DROP CONSTRAINT Test_pkey;
ALTER TABLE
foo=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM Test WHERE id = '8934';
 QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on test (cost=0.00..6569.61 rows=1 width=4)
Filter: (id = 8934)
(2 rows)

foo=# SELECT max(id)/2 FROM Test;
?column?
----------
194064
(1 row)

foo=# CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Test_pk0 ON Test(id) WHERE id < 194064;
CREATE INDEX
foo=# CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Test_pk1 ON Test(id) WHERE id >= 194064;
CREATE INDEX
foo=# ANALYZE Test;
ANALYZE
foo=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM Test WHERE id = 8934;
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index Only Scan using test_pk0 on test (cost=0.42..8.44 rows=1 width=4)
Index Cond: (id = 8934)
(2 rows)

foo=# DROP INDEX Test_pk0;
DROP INDEX
foo=# DROP INDEX Test_pk1;
DROP INDEX

foo=# CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Test_pk0 ON Test(id) WHERE mod(id,2) = 0;
CREATE INDEX
foo=# CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Test_pk1 ON Test(id) WHERE mod(id,2) = 1;
CREATE INDEX
foo=# ANALYZE Test;
ANALYZE
foo=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM Test WHERE id = '8934';
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------
Seq Scan on test (cost=0.00..6569.61 rows=1 width=4)
Filter: (id = 8934)
(2 rows)

Why is that index never used?

PS: there is a performance question behind this, big table, heavily used index,
the hope was that with this simple scheme of partitioning just the index one might
distribute the load better. I know, if the load really is so big, why not partition
the entire table. But just for hecks, why not this way?
