Confirmed.  It seems something changed in GIST from 8.3.3 to 8.3.5

-- 8.3.3 CLUSTER on GIST index works fine.
test=# create temp table tmp as select st_makepoint(random(), random()) as the_geom from generate_series(1, 10000);
SELECT
test=# create index tmp_geom_idx on tmp using gist (the_geom);
CREATE INDEX
test=# analyze tmp;
ANALYZE
test=# select count(*) from tmp; count
------- 10000
(1 row)

test=# cluster tmp using tmp_geom_idx;
CLUSTER
test=# analyze tmp;
ANALYZE
test=# select count(*) from tmp; count
------- 10000
(1 row)

test=# select version();                                              version
