I tried this in a test document, but for some reason I don't know, the
only indices that are appearing are the function and variable indices.
The others give "(Index is non-existent.)" The output of texi2dvi is
below.

The index files all appear to be created properly:

$ls macro-backslash.*
macro-backslash.aux  macro-backslash.fns   macro-backslash.texi
macro-backslash.cp   macro-backslash.info  macro-backslash.texi~
macro-backslash.cps  macro-backslash.ky    macro-backslash.toc
macro-backslash.dvi  macro-backslash.log   macro-backslash.tp
macro-backslash.fn   macro-backslash.pg    macro-backslash.vr

I'll attach the *.texi and *.dvi file, I can send the others too if needed.

$texi2dvi -I doc macro-backslash.texi
