And then I find a way to make it non-random. Hooray:

CREATE TABLE date_test (
   id SERIAL,
   col1 varchar,
   col2 numeric,
   action_date TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE
);

insert into date_test (col1, col2, action_date)
select 'S:' || (a.num % 10000), a.num % 15000,
        current_date - a.num % 1000
   from generate_series(1,10000000) a(num);

create index idx_date_test_action_date_trunc
     on date_test (date_trunc('day', action_date));

create index idx_date_test_col1_col2
     on date_test (col1, col2);

set default_statistics_target = 500;
vacuum analyze date_test;

explain analyze
select *
   from date_test
  where col1 IN ('S:96')
    and col2 = 657
    and date_trunc('day', action_date) >= '2012-10-24'
  order by id desc, action_date;


  Sort  (cost=9.38..9.39 rows=1 width=23) (actual time=83.418..83.418
rows=0 loops=1)
    Sort Key: id, action_date
    Sort Method: quicksort  Memory: 25kB
    ->  Index Scan using idx_date_test_action_date_trunc on date_test
(cost=0.00..9.37 rows=1 width=23) (actual time=83.409..83.409 rows=0
loops=1)
          Index Cond: (date_trunc('day'::text, action_date) >=
'2012-10-24 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone)
          Filter: (((col1)::text = 'S:96'::text) AND (col2 = 657::numeric))
  Total runtime: 83.451 ms


alter index idx_date_test_action_date_trunc
       alter column date_trunc set statistics 1000;
analyze date_test;


  Sort  (cost=9.83..9.83 rows=1 width=23) (actual time=0.077..0.077
rows=0 loops=1)
    Sort Key: id, action_date
    Sort Method: quicksort  Memory: 25kB
    ->  Index Scan using idx_date_test_col1_col2 on date_test
(cost=0.00..9.82 rows=1 width=23) (actual time=0.069..0.069 rows=0 loops=1)
          Index Cond: (((col1)::text = 'S:96'::text) AND (col2 =
657::numeric))
          Filter: (date_trunc('day'::text, action_date) >= '2012-10-24
00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone)
  Total runtime: 0.105 m


Then for fun:


create index idx_date_test_action_date_trunc_col1
     on date_test (date_trunc('day', action_date), col1);
alter index idx_date_test_action_date_trunc
       alter column date_trunc set statistics -1;
analyze date_test;


  Sort  (cost=9.38..9.39 rows=1 width=23) (actual time=84.375..84.375
rows=0 loops=1)
    Sort Key: id, action_date
    Sort Method: quicksort  Memory: 25kB
    ->  Index Scan using idx_date_test_action_date_trunc on date_test
(cost=0.00..9.37 rows=1 width=23) (actual time=84.366..84.366 rows=0
loops=1)
          Index Cond: (date_trunc('day'::text, action_date) >=
'2012-10-24 00:00:00'::timestamp without time zone)
          Filter: (((col1)::text = 'S:96'::text) AND (col2 = 657::numeric))
  Total runtime: 84.410 ms
