Actually it doesn't appear to be...

Using the OPs example code on 8.3 beta 4:

postgres=# select pg_get_indexdef('test_desc_idx1'::regclass, 0, true);
                          pg_get_indexdef
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 CREATE INDEX test_desc_idx1 ON test_desc USING btree (f1, f2 DESC)
(1 row)

postgres=# select pg_get_indexdef('test_desc_idx1'::regclass, 1, true);
 pg_get_indexdef
-----------------
 f1 DESC
(1 row)

postgres=# select pg_get_indexdef('test_desc_idx1'::regclass, 2, true);
 pg_get_indexdef
-----------------
 f2 DESC
(1 row)

postgres=# select pg_get_indexdef('test_desc_idx2'::regclass, 0, true);
                          pg_get_indexdef
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 CREATE INDEX test_desc_idx2 ON test_desc USING btree (f1 DESC, f2)
(1 row)

postgres=# select pg_get_indexdef('test_desc_idx2'::regclass, 1, true);
 pg_get_indexdef
-----------------
 f1 DESC
(1 row)

postgres=# select pg_get_indexdef('test_desc_idx2'::regclass, 2, true);
 pg_get_indexdef
-----------------
  DESCf2
(1 row)

Looks like pg_get_indexdef is unwell :-(
