I tested it with attached script, but broke out of the "for" loop after 5
iterations (when it had 300,000,005 rows inserted)

Then I did an analyze, and got an error message below:

jjanes=# analyze;
ERROR: could not truncate file "base/16384/16388_vm" to 488 blocks: it's
only 82 blocks now

16388 is the index's relfilenode.

Here is the backtrace upon entry to the truncate that is going to fail:
