There is no rocket science here:
# create table x (v bool);
# create index i on x using bloom ((v::int4));
# set enable_seqscan=off; --because of empty table
# explain select * from x where v::int4 = 1;
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bitmap Heap Scan on x (cost=25.08..35.67 rows=14 width=1)
Recheck Cond: ((v)::integer = 1)
-> Bitmap Index Scan on i (cost=0.00..25.07 rows=14 width=0)
Index Cond: ((v)::integer = 1)

Or cast it to "char" type (with quoting!)
