I get the feeling that this is deliberate, and perhaps an attempt to mitigate locking issues, or some other explanation, but the rationale isn't immediately apparent to me if this is the case.
I have always assumed the reason is that there might be other transactions using the index so if we are going to drop it on rollback we might get stuck forever waiting for an exclusive lock on the index. How do you get around that? Rollback being stuck waiting forever is certainly not a nice behavior.
