Magento - Layered navigation, configurable products, multiple filters active issue

Say I have a single configurable product in a Magento (1.7) store, "T-Shirt-A" which comes in Red (sizes 1,2) and Black (size 2).

In the layered navigation if I select "Black" and "size 1"

What can I do to achieve the search results I want (have the filters show the configurable products which have at least one associated simple product that meets ALL filtered criteria).

All EAV dropdown-attribute values used for layered navigation are stored in the catalog_product_index_eav table, which only knows about one single product at a time. Configurable products may have multiple values for each attribute depending on their children, but then the original belongings of those values are lost, which leads to the case you get.

To make it work like you want, you would have to rework the way EAV values are indexed for configurable products and layered navigation (Mage_CatalogIndex_Model_Indexer_Eav), and the way they are retrieved and used for filtering (Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer_Filter_Attribute)
