[Attachment, skipping...]

WRT the primary key constraint, this should be considered a
"triggered data change violation", and the system should
already complain at the INSERT attempt's for p.

We don't track it that precise. So the error message isn't
the right one and it happens too late. But the overall
transactional behaviour is correct.
