hm:

* Also, a VACUUM FULL that failed partway through vacuuming a system
catalog could result in cache corruption in concurrent database
sessions.

* Fix btree index corruption from insertions concurrent with vacuuming
(Tom Lane)

* These bugs could result in index corruption after reindexing a
system catalog. They are not believed to affect user indexes.

I mostly agree, but it's possible you got hit by a fixed bug.
