DROP INDEX t_a_idx2;
CREATE INDEX t_a_idx ON ONLY t (a);
CREATE INDEX tp1_a_idx ON tp1 (a);
" | psql

echo "ALTER INDEX t_a_idx ATTACH PARTITION tp1_a_idx;" | psql &
echo "CREATE INDEX t_a_idx2 ON t(a);" | psql

bogus pg_inherit row: inhrelid 16400 inhparent 16399

which is described as unexpected:
                        /*
                         * A pg_inherits row exists.  If it's the same we
want, then we're
                         * good; if it differs, that amounts to a corrupt
catalog and
                         * should not happen.
                         */
                        if (inhForm->inhparent != parentOid)
                        {
                                /* unexpected: we should not get called in
this case */
                                elog(ERROR, "bogus pg_inherit row: inhrelid
%u inhparent %u",
                                         inhForm->inhrelid,
inhForm->inhparent);
                        }
