That looks sensible here, including the test coverage.  Thanks for the
patch!

One thing that I'm tempted to add is more scans to check indisvalid
across these commands, particularly after the individual ATTACH
PARTITION bits on each individual index.

A second thing.  Do you think that it would be worth adding a
partitioned table that has no leaves in some portion of the test?  I
was thinking about a partitioned table called idxpart2 attached to
idxpart in the first part of the test.  I've found this pattern
usually useful for this area of the code when recursing with
validatePartitionedIndex() from a parent.  I was also thinking about
a partitioned table idxpart3 in the last test block, but as you want
to check that indisvalid is not flipped to true for the parent if a
child is !indisvalid, it would not be adapted.
