I had this in my mailbox. Because it is a system index, you may be
stuck. You may need to use pg_upgrade. This will allow you to
re-create the tables, and move the data files back into place, fixing
the problem. If I remember correctly, you can try REINDEX, which is a
new command in 7.0.X for rebuilding system indexes in place.
