You didn't rename the constraint.  If we were going to do anything about
this, it'd be to forbid directly renaming indexes that're owned by
constraints.  However, since we don't currently have a RENAME CONSTRAINT
command, the effect of that would be that you couldn't do it at all ...

In the meantime you can probably do an UPDATE on pg_constraint if you
really care.
