The SQL query on the Wiki page does the right thing there now, so
users will have the benefit of not unnecessarily reindexing when text
was not the leading/first pg_index attribute. We have that covered, I
suppose, because everyone will look to the Wiki page for guidance.

I also noted quite a few non-obvious safe cases on the Wiki page, as
pointed out already over on the other thread.
