I just tried that,
CREATE INDEX test_domain_k_x1_x2_mp ON test_domain (k, x1, x2, mp);

and dropped the others.  That actually works properly.
jeremyd=# explain analyze select * from test_domain where k = 1255 and mp;

I thought I had to refer to all of the columns in order for this to work,
that I could not skip some in the middle, but it seems to work.
