I think this is exactly the current behavior in the patch. In the race
condition we discussed, the insert will be applied if the conflicting tuple is
removed concurrently before CheckAndReportConflict().

I think you might misunderstand the behavior of CheckAndReportConflict(), even
if it found a conflict, it still inserts the tuple into the index which means
the change is anyway applied.
