While looking at all that, I've been also curious about this specific
point, and it is indeed possible to finish in a state where a
duplicate key would be found in one of indexes selected by the
executor during an INSERT ON CONFLICT while a concurrent set of CICs
and DICs are run, so you don't really need a REINDEX.  See for example
the attached test.
