As I wrote earlier: autovacuum_enabled is not a valid storage parameter
for indexes. The exact sentence after the one you're refering to tells
you that "Storage parameters for indexes are documented in CREATE INDEX"
and autovacuum_enabled is not documented there - it's valid for tables
only. (On the other hand, there are index storage parameters which are
not available for tables - they might make no sense on a table or refer
to specific index types only).

Christoph
