Have you tried things like :
(x >> bsr(x)) == 1 ?

I have no idea if this is faster or not, but worth trying.

Hm.. I think this would always succeed. Perhaps you mean:

1 << bsr(x) == x;

And ironically, still doesn't work for 0 :D

IIRC, bsr is a binary search (even when it's an instruction), I doubt 
it's as fast as subtraction and logic-and.
