array_eq couldn't care less whether you have an operator named '='.
What it wants to find is a default btree index opclass for your datatype.
That represents an actual assertion that the operators behave in a
certain way, whereas an operator merely named '=' might do anything.

There's a fair amount of other infrastructure that also relies on
btree opclasses to tell it how operators behave, so it's worth your
trouble to jump through this hoop.
