Iceberg ignores completely git's index (until the moment you commit).
I cannot tell it 100% sure but It probably depends on the particular
scenario you're on but IIRC:
 - if you checkout with iceberg, it will most surely discard your index;
 - if you try to commit with iceberg and you have a dirty index, iceberg
will commit coming from your image along with the thing in the index

What the merge operation does depends on the kind of merge:
 - a fast forward will just checkout the new commit in disk, probably
discarding your index
 - a non fast forward will leave the disk as is, without touching the index
(until you resolve the conflicts and then Iceberg will commit, which should
do what I explained above)

Yes, I'd recommend people to try to have a clean working copy when using
iceberg, and specially a clean index.
