Indeed.

The logic seems fine to me --- it avoids an unnecessary cache flush
if the index was already the pkey.  (Whether we actually reach this
code in such a case, I dunno, but it's not costing much to be smart
if we are.)

I agree, the proposed test cases are expensive overkill.  The repro
shown in the original message is sufficient and much cheaper.
Moreover, we already have some test cases very much like that in
regress/sql/publication.sql, so that's where I put it.

Pushed with some minor cosmetic adjustments.
