Create index is a DML statement. So it does a commit before and after.
Since all DML is a transaction by itself, it has to be separate from the
transaction that did the table lock. Since the table was not locked by you,
and since a table lock disallows any row locking operations until the table
is unlocked, the create index can't do its job.
