The behavior of assert_index_equal should match assert_series_equal here with check_categorical=False.

In [3]: import pandas.util.testing as tm

In [4]: import pandas as pd

In [5]: tm.assert_series_equal(
   ...:     pd.Series(pd.Categorical(['a', 'b'])),
   ...:     pd.Series(pd.Categorical(['a', 'b'], categories=['a', 'b', 'c'])),
   ...:     check_categorical=False
   ...: )

In [8]: tm.assert_index_equal(
   ...:     pd.Index(pd.Categorical(['a', 'b'])),
   ...:     pd.Index(pd.Categorical(['a', 'b'], categories=['a', 'b', 'c'])),
   ...:     check_categorical=False
   ...: )

      5 )
