hm:
* Also, a VACUUM FULL that failed partway through vacuuming a system
catalog could result in cache corruption in concurrent database
sessions.
* Fix btree index corruption from insertions concurrent with vacuuming
(Tom Lane)

system catalog. They are not believed to affect user indexes.
I mostly agree, but it's possible you got hit by a fixed bug.
