I am not sure what you mean fails
``CREATE INDEX qqindxname``
?

for example:

>> >> CREATE TABLE tp(c int, a int, b int) PARTITION BY RANGE (b);
>> >> CREATE TABLE tp_1(c int, a int, b int);
>> >> ALTER TABLE tp ATTACH PARTITION tp_1 FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (1);
>> >> CREATE INDEX t_a_idx ON tp_1(a);
>> >> CREATE INDEX tp_a_idx ON tp(a);

with the patch, pg_dump output will be
```
DROP INDEX IF EXISTS public.tp_a_idx;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS public.tp_11;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS public.tp;
....
CREATE INDEX tp_a_idx ON ONLY public.tp USING btree (a);
CREATE INDEX tp_11_a_idx ON public.tp_11 USING btree (a);
ALTER INDEX public.tp_a_idx ATTACH PARTITION public.tp_11_a_idx;
```

What's your expectation?
