The paper by Order and Lindwall [1] agrees with you that the R-T reaction gives indole-3-carboxaldehyde.
Since its isolation in 1903 by Hopkins and Cole (1), 3-indole aldehyde has been investigated very little. It was first prepared by Ellinger (2) from indole through the use of the Reimer-Tiemann reaction. This method was improved on later by Boyd and Robson (3).
