I don't see any:

create table TEST    (
testval    int4 UNIQUE
);
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE/UNIQUE will create implicit index 'test_testval_key' for table 'test'
CREATE
insert into test values (1);
INSERT 283276 1
insert into test values (1);
ERROR:  Cannot insert a duplicate key into a unique index

You're going to have to be more specific about what problem you
are observing.
