Are you aware of Andres' commit 02fea8fd? That work prevented exactly
the same set of symptoms (the same index-only scan create_index
regressions), which was apparently necessary following the
rearrangements to the regression tests to remove cross-script
dependencies (Tom's commit cc50080a82).

This was the thread that led to Andres' commit, which was just over a month ago:
