I don't think it's a mistake that we have 'create index concurrently' and it certainly would seem odd to me for 'create index' and 'reindex table' to be different. Certainly, from my recollection of english, you'd say "I am going to reindex the table concurrently", you wouldn't say "I am going to reindex concurrently the table." Based on at least a quick looking around, the actual grammar rule seems to match my recollection[1], adverbs should typically go AFTER the verb + object, and the adverb shouldn't ever be placed between the verb and the object.
