I didn't mention I'm running 16.6, but I'm pretty sure it is
reproducible on other versions too.

Yeah, even if it is not clear to me why it is trying to read the index
that is under creation (i.e., not usable yet).

As I stated, this example is controversial, and as the documentation
states, the IMMUTABLE set of functions should not perform database
lookups, as in my example.
However, the error message is quite obscure to me, and reminds me a
disk corruption rather a stability/function/lookup problem.
