I'm a little concerned about introducing extra causes of failure into
upgrade when we don't have to. They could have gone on with that invalid
index forever, and I don't see it as the job of upgrade to alert someone
to that problem.

That being said, it's a reasonable position, and I am fine with either
approach.
