Yes, this is expected.  Same for CLUSTER.  They create a different
filenode and point the relation (table or index) at it.

I think the separate space for indexes is a good idea.  However, and
this is orthogonal, I feel the way REINDEX works now is not the best,
because it precludes you from using the index while you are doing it.

I'm trying to implement a way to concurrently compact the indexes.
I hope to have it for 7.4.
