Well, that doesn't seem to help either.

* I had vacuum_freeze_min_age=0 set for the session doing CLUSTER.
* No session were open during the CLUSTER.

Result:
* Indizes are not compacted.
Compared to an earlier night with a similar number of records two btree-
indizes went from 300M to ~400M (roughly).
