My fault!
I missed one index, so it is working with one index a two column alter
table, but not with two indexes:
testdb=# alter table users alter column name type text, alter column
email type text;
alter table users alter column name type text, alter column email type text;
psql: ERROR: relation "users_name_idx" already exists
Therefore I think it is a strange behavior, I cannot explain.
I confirm the problem shows up in 11.4 and 12beta2, so I guess there's
must be a reason I don't understand.
