This seems a bit broken :-( ... ideally it shouldn't be generating the
redundant index condition, either.  I think the redundant condition is
probably indirectly responsible for the low rowcount estimate, too.
It doesn't really hurt anything, since the join output estimate is
correct, but it'd be nice to make it look better.
