bigint indexes work fine. The queries probably referenced 32-bit integer constants that were neither quoted nor CAST. I always start bigint sequences at 5 billion. This ensures that client applications aren't assuming 32-bit quantities that will break once ~4.2 billion is reached and I get index scans without quoting or casting free. But IIRC there's a change in the development tree to jettison the requirement for quoting/casting...
