None, but in case of move_index_entries_after_items it is always done 
for some formats, as said in the documentation.  And I found the reason
for those formats in a mail, simply because it wouldn't make a
difference for the other formats.

No, only @itemize and @enumerate.  The cvs entry says:

 Move index entries appearing right before an @item in @enumerate
 and @itemize right after the @item.  Reprot from Joel Sherrill and
 request from Karl.

And in the corresponding thread, I have reread that I didn't like it so
I didn't overdo it...

I could do the same for @table, but the situation is a bit different,
as it is more natural to have the index entry right after the @item.
And for the implementation, it may be a bit more complicated, because
there is the possibility of @itemx.  But if you think that it is
important, I can do something similar for @table.
