I wrote my own "transaction manager" and tied it into the application
that was triggering the events in the first place. It worked remarkably
well. Greatly simplified by removing application knowledge, it looks
like this:

sub commit_prepared_xacts {
my ($master_transaction_id, @databases) = @_;
for my $database (@databases) {
if (!prepared_xact_exists($master_transaction_id, $database)) {
rollback_all_xacts($master_transaction_id, @databases);
}
}
}

sub prepared_xact_exists {
my ($master_transaction_id, $database) = @_;
return do_query($database, qq|
select gid pg_prepared_xacts from where gid = ?
|, $master_transaction_id);
}

sub rollback_all_xacts
{
my ($master_transaction_id, @databases) = @_;
for my $database (@databases) {
do_query($database, qq|
rollback prepared $master_transaction_id
|);
}
}
