We gave up trying to make index column names match the underlying table in
9.0; so no currently supported PG release does what you wish, and it's
unlikely that any future one will either. (This is called out as an
incompatibility in the 9.0 release notes, FWIW.)

Sorry, but that's a Londiste bug not a Postgres bug.
