In case of a change in the locale properties - albeit the name of the
locale remained the same - index corruption is possible.

This has been reported on RedHat platforms. The reaction of the
PostgreSQL project was to incorporate the locale libraries by ICU. They
can be used on demand. If they change, the database server will
automatically reindex if necessary.

If something in the OS libraries changes, the database server won't be
informed.

When indexes are corrupt (and data are fine), the best solution is to
reindex all indexes over varchar and text columns.
