I think there's a minor problem with the patch.  AFAICT, it binds the
local variable 'entry' but does not read it (instead it uses the match
text directly).

As an aside, it might be desirable to handle the empty index case that
you identified.  E.g.,

(if (> (match-end 1) (match-beginning 1))
    ...rewrite the index entry...
    ;; else
    emit a warning
    rewrite the index entry as the empty string
)

Hope that helps,
Robert
