I'm afraid this problem is connected with the problem of index_formtuple -
all keys (even btree_ops) are greater than 4 bytes, so it's impossible
to pass them by value. They should be pass-by-reference.
So, probably functions gistindex and gistbuild should be modified for
translation from pass-by-value to pass-by-reference. Your comments ?
