Yes, that's a problem. I am adding an open item.

This one is partially expected actually. Invalid indexes are ignored
when processing as that would cause at least a table-level reindex to
double its amount of processing. However, it is not possible either
to detach an index from an partition tree for indexes, hence the index
cannot be dropped directly either. It seems to me that the root of
the problem is that the partition indexes created as copycats of the
original ones should never be in a state where they are attached to
the index tree.
