If '2001-12-01 00:00:00+02' is the unique ipdate value which satsifies
'2001-12-01 00:00:00+02' <= ipdate AND ipdate < '2001-12-02 00:00:00+02'
and CREATE INDEX preserves the physical order of the same key,
the IndexScan would see physically ordered tuples. There's no strangeness
even if the scan is faster than sequential scan.
