It doesn't matter.

I am changing pg_amcheck to filter out indexes as you say.  Since the btree 
check should no longer error in these cases, the issue of pg_amcheck exit(2) 
sorts itself out without further code changes.

I am changing verify_heapam to skip unlogged tables during recovery.  In 
testing, checking such a table results in a simple notice:

  NOTICE:  cannot verify unlogged relation "u_tbl" during recovery, skipping

While testing, I also created an index on the unlogged table and checked that 
index using bt_index_parent_check, and was surprised that checking it using 
bt_index_parent_check raises an error:

  ERROR:  cannot acquire lock mode ShareLock on database objects while recovery 
is in progress
  HINT:  Only RowExclusiveLock or less can be acquired on database objects 
during recovery.

It doesn't get as far as btree_index_mainfork_expected().  So I am changing 
pg_amcheck to filter out indexes when pg_is_in_recovery() is true and 
relpersistence='u'.  Does that sound right to you?
