This example seems both confused and out of date.  Since we changed
the rules on materializing CTEs (in 608b167f9), I get

regression=# create table c as select i as a, i from generate_series(1, 1000000)i;
SELECT 1000000
regression=# create index on c(a);
CREATE INDEX
regression=# explain
regression-# with cte1 as (select * from c)
regression-# select * from cte1 where a = 1;
                                QUERY PLAN                               
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Bitmap Heap Scan on c  (cost=95.17..4793.05 rows=5000 width=8)
   Recheck Cond: (a = 1)
   ->  Bitmap Index Scan on c_a_idx  (cost=0.00..93.92 rows=5000 width=0)
         Index Cond: (a = 1)
(4 rows)
