I'm writing release notes and wondering what I can tell users about
how to detect or recover from this bug.  Is a REINDEX sufficient,
or is the presence of the bogus redirect item going to cause
persistent problems?  If the latter, can we provide some amelioration?
"Your data is broken and there is nothing you can do about it"
is not nice to be writing in release notes.

            regards, tom lane
