I think that 7.0.* is too stupid to consider an indexscan for a
qualifier that looks like "indexvar = ($1 + 1)", which is what you
effectively have in this case ($1 being the Param passed in from
the outer plan). It only recognizes "indexvar = constant" and
"indexvar = param" as indexable expressions. Current sources do
better.
