As shown by Patrick TJ McPhee, it does not work:

tests=>  create table x (
tests(>    name TEXT NOT NULL,
tests(>    address INET,
tests(>    CONSTRAINT na UNIQUE (name, address)
tests(>  );
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / UNIQUE will create implicit index "na" for table "x"
CREATE TABLE
tests=> INSERT INTO x (name) values ('foobar');
INSERT 45380 1
tests=> INSERT INTO x (name) values ('foobar');
INSERT 45381 1
tests=> INSERT INTO x (name) values ('foobar');
INSERT 45382 1
tests=> INSERT INTO x (name) values ('foobar');
INSERT 45383 1
tests=> select * from x;
  name  | address 
--------+---------
 foobar | 
 foobar | 
 foobar | 
 foobar | 
(4 rows)
