Ok, so the interpretation of this field is:
        A match in the index needs to be reevaluated in the heap tuple data,
        since a match in the index does not necessarily mean, that the heap tuple
        matches.
        If the heap tuple data matches, the index must always match.

A very typical example for such an index is a hash index. This might explain the 
fact, that the ODBC driver misinterpreted that field as meaning that the index is a 
hash.  
The field has nothing to do with partial index.
