Concretely that seems to be transformRowExpr's fault. It overwrites row_typeid even though its marked as COERCE_EXPLICIT_CAST. Now the original problem seems to be that we are transforming an already transformed expression. generateClonedIndexStmt gets the expression from the old index via nodeToString, remaps some attnos, but thats about it. ISTM IndexElem grow a cooked_expr member.
