We can't test a non-concurrent index build in production - but your word is just as good.

We only see this on some of production databases.  We did not see it in QA testing.  But we will try to get a test case in QA.

Is this categorized as a bug specific to GIN indexes or a PostgreSQL bug in general?

That's just what CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY would do with any error.
(It might be worth checking whether a non-CONCURRENTLY build hits the
same error, though I'm betting it will.)

A reproducible test case would move things along quite a bit; without that
we're just guessing.

Well, you could move the thread to pgsql-bugs but you might as well
keep it where it is.
