Is there a verdict on what can/should/will be done for this? As far as I can tell from all this, there appears to be no workaround (even kludgy) other than to not build indexes in parallel - not an attractive option. If I'm only building two indexes simultaneously, what would happen if I tried to lock pg_class in the shorter index build transaction? Besides seeming like a bad idea...
