Bug reference:      15871
Logged by:          Tom Dunstan
Email address:      pgsql@tomd.cc
PostgreSQL version: 11.4
Operating system:   Linux x86_64 (Alpine 3.9)
Description:       

test=# ALTER TABLE FOO ALTER ts1 TYPE TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, ALTER ts2
TYPE TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE;
ERROR:  42P07: relation "foo_ts1_idx" already exists
LOCATION:  index_create, index.c:877

Necessary condition seems to be:
 - Multiple columns altered in the same statement
 - Both altered columns have an index

Seems to be the same behavior as BUG #1586 whose fix just got applied today and will appear in the next point release.
