Really? AFAICT, we've never done that --- at least not as far back as
7.2, which is as far as I felt like checking.

There did use to be some logic in there that tried to make index column
names track their underlying columns when you renamed a column. But
we gave up on that in 9.0, mainly because of index-expression cases.
