I left that as-is intentionally: the fact that an index isn't valid
doesn't prevent us from cloning it.  A relevant data point is that
pg_dump doesn't care whether indexes are valid or not --- it'll dump
their definitions anyway.

I agree it's a judgment call, though.  Anybody want to argue for the
other position?
