Yeah, I did
create index t1i on t1 (a,b,c);
Do I need to use some other syntax to get it to work?

I noticed that too, while trying to suppress the returning of the
results for timing purposes ... still a few bugs in their optimizer
obviously. (Curiously, EXPLAIN still claims that the index is being
used.)

I don't understand what you did differently in those two cases?
Or was there a DROP INDEX between?
