Just running the CREATE INDEXes (after issuing the appropriate DROPs,
of course) succeeds.

Running without the COPY yields a substantively similar error message.

Again, this error only happens when the statements are executed in the
context of a function; outside, even issued all at once separated by
semicolons, the behavior is correct.

I was just reminded that there is another difference between this
function and the working one: this one is rather more heavily indexed.
(None of the compound, conditional indices exist in the earlier,
working version.) That might point in the direction of the error,
though it doesn't explain why it only fails in a function; I'll do
some digging.
