This was fixed before it was committed [0].

That can still fail with the "has no options" ERROR, and fixing it
will still require a manual catalog update. The ERROR is actually
coming from the call to index_open(), so bypassing it might require
some rather intrusive changes. Given that it took over a year for
this bug to be reported, I suspect it might be more trouble than it's
worth.
