After further investigation, it seems that the original sort order of
the index was not C-locale, but something else --- I can reproduce the
current index ordering except for a small number of new-ish tuples if
I sort the data in en_US.
We go out of our way to prevent the backend's locale from changing after
initdb. Did you do something to override that?
Another theory is that this is a manifestation of the known problem with
plperl sometimes changing the backend's locale setting. Is it possible
that the index was created in a session that had previously run some
plperl functions?
