\ignorespaces could be possibly be added to \index in your case,

but that does not solve this conceptual problem: what is actually

being indexed in that second line? Not the word on the left

(as that could be on a different page), neither the word on the

right (as that could also be on a different page).

I have understood that the correct use of \index{}
is immediately following the word to be indexed, as in:
test\index{test}
