simplify_indexed() didn't fully simplify the expressions

Can you provide a definition of "simple"?

No kidding, an example of what you have and what you want to get would be
really helpful.  Without that nobody can help you, I'm afraid.

Your compiler optimizing too aggressivly.  Try this ctor instead:

/** Construct ex from string and a list of symbols. The input grammar is
 *  similar to the GiNaC output format. All symbols and indices to be used
 *  in the expression must be specified in a lst in the second argument.
 *  Undefined symbols and other parser errors will throw an exception. */
GiNaC::ex::ex(const std::string &s, const GiNaC::ex &l);
