Ok, I think I see what you mean. I would then state the H0 as
(Bx2|Bx=0)=0 or probably more interesting is (Bx|Bx2=0)=0. 
The latter hypothesis would mean whether there is an effect, 
given that the effect is non-quadratic. You could test that 
as follows:

logistic case x 
test x

Hope this helps,
