Hi,
Using 7.2.1 I just got this error message
ERROR: btree: index item size 2824 exceeds maximum 2713
searching the mailing lists I came across this explaination by
Tom Lane

Obviously, these problems have not gone away, and you can quite happily
create larger keys without any warning.
Will this be fixed in 7.3 or at least put the creation time check
in a 7.2.2 release if there is one?
