Thanks for the report, reproduced here.

While working recently on what has led to cfc43ae and fc55c7f, I
really got the feeling that there could be some command sequences that
lacked some CCIs (or CommandCounterIncrement calls) to make sure that
the catalog updates are visible in any follow-up steps in the same
transaction.

Your report is telling that we are missing a CCI somewhere in this
sequence. I would have thought that relation_mark_replica_identity()
is the correct place when the pg_index entry is dirtied, but that does
not seem correct. Hmm.
