Sadly, you're wrong about that; see the example at
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Locale_data_changes#Testing_collation
If you did an OS upgrade across a glibc collation change, it's best to
assume all your indexes on textual columns are corrupt and REINDEX
them.

It can take awhile before the results of inconsistent sorting order
become obvious, but the state of the index will progressively degrade
as new entries get inserted into the wrong subtree.
