Huh? I think you misread the test. Keep in mind that the starting
value of curpages is the actual current size of the relation (as
reported by lseek(SEEK_END)). The clamp action is triggering if
pg_class.relpages is zero, indicating (approximately) that we've never
yet run vacuum on the relation.
BTW, in some quick testing it seems like a newly-created index will
start out with relpages nonzero anyway, making the point moot; so adding
a relkind test here is really more documentation than anything else.
