The best test for homepage is a variable introduced in v1.3.7 called $this_is_home_page. It is always true on the homepage and false elsewhere.
BTW the php check was:

main_page = index AND cPAth = null


This seemed to work (hadn't dug too deep though) but obviously a dedicated home page variable makes life a lot simpler.
