Whew!

Doesn't look like it:

bric=# reindex index udx_keyword__name;
REINDEX
bric=# select * from keyword where name ='북한의';
   id  |  name  | screen_name | sort_name | active
------+--------+-------------+-----------+--------
  1218 | 국방비 | 국방비      | 국방비    |      1
(1 row)

That's still giving me an invalid row for the value I passed to it
(note that the value of the "name" column is different than the value I
queried for).
