That doesn't appear to be correct:

rhaas=# create table p (a integer primary key, b integer not null,
unique (b)); NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit
index "p_pkey" for table "p"
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / UNIQUE will create implicit index "p_b_key"
for table "p"
CREATE TABLE
rhaas=# create table r (b integer not null references p (b));
CREATE TABLE
