That sure sounds like a bug, but we're unlikely to be able to find it
without a lot more info.  Is there any chance you could extract a
reproducible test case?  Presumably this would require a starting data
set and a series of updates to apply to it to provoke the error.  We'd
only need the data that goes into this index, not any of the rest of
the table.
