I don't think there is any way to get the "real" shapeindex unless you 
have an id field in the data itself. You could file a ticket about this, 
but for some data sources, such as Postgis, Oracle Spatial, and many OGR 
ones, there is no concept of absolute record id, so if something was 
added, it would very likely work only for shapefiles
