Nope, you're not missing anything.  When I initially wrote this for
Postgres, it didn't support all cases; including the one you're
running into.  It's not extremely difficult to extend, but as there
are so few people asking for this functionality, no one has found it
important enough to warrant extension.  Perhaps I'll get to it for
8.4.
