Actually, no it can't: the case I'm envisioning should lead to throwing
this error:
elog(ERROR, "failed to delete rightmost child %u of block %u in index
\"%s\"",
target, parent, RelationGetRelationName(rel));
a bit further up. That's annoying enough, but it's not a PANIC.
A search of the archives produces no evidence that anyone has ever
reported the "failed to delete rightmost child" error from the field.
So while I still think this is a bug that needs to be fixed, it may
be lower priority than I thought initially.
