This is easy enough to check using the contrib/amcheck extension.
jesusthefrog could try this, and report back what they see:
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS amcheck
SELECT bt_index_check('my_uuid_index', true);
If that doesn't show any errors, then there is a chance that this will:
SELECT bt_index_parent_check('my_uuid_index', true);
Note that the parent variant takes a disruptive lock that will block
write DML. You might prefer to just use the first query if this is
running in a production environment.
