This is very likely to be corruption. It's important to determine the
cause and extent of this corruption. I suggest using amcheck for this,
which is available for those Postgres versions from:

https://github.com/petergeoghegan/amcheck

Note that there are Debian and Redhat packages available.

You'll definitely want to use the "heapallindexed" option here, at
least for primary key indexes (pass "pg_index.indisprimary" as
"heapallindexed" argument, while generalizing from the example SQL
query for bt_index_check()). This process has a good chance of
isolating the problem, especially if you let this list see any errors
raised by the tool.
