3805956 - DB6: Index size increased following a DBCONV reorganisation.

Symptom

After a DB6CONV table conversion (online reorganisation) using `ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE` with the `COPY_WITH_INDEXES` option completes successfully, the total index storage is significantly larger than before the conversion.
The table data size may decrease as expected, but the index size grows substantially, resulting in an overall increase in the total table footprint.
