Hm. I can't immediately think of anything CCA relevant in the patch. I
do wonder if it's possible that this is a consequence of
indcheckxmin. The unique index is created just before the failing
statement, after the table has had a couple updates. And the following
statement succeeds.

Currently index inferrence ignores indexes that aren't yet valid
according to checkxmin. I'm tempted to think that is a mistake. I think
we should throw an error instead; possbily at execution rather than plan
time. It'll be rather confusing for users if a INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
fails shortly after an index creation, but not later.  Not that an error
message will make them happy, but it'll be much less confusing.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
