You still haven't shown us exactly what you're doing, only asserted that
you're doing the right thing, which seems somewhat unlikely given that
nobody has been able to reproduce this behavior based on what you've
told us so far.
One possible gotcha is indicated by this comment in analyze.c:
* Open all indexes of the relation, and see if there are any analyzable
* columns in the indexes. We do not analyze index columns if there was
* an explicit column list in the ANALYZE command, however. If we are
that is, if you did something like "ANALYZE assets(_doc);" it would
not result in creation of stats for any expression indexes.

Wouldn't have thought that their version of Postgres deviates much
from community Postgres. If you were talking about Aurora or Redshift,
I can't speak to what those do.
