Surely that's a bug: the SELECT ought to start a transaction block.

Barry Lind reported what is probably a closely related issue:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2003-01/msg00592.php

I haven't gotten around to looking at this, but I suspect postgres.c
is doing something inside the per-querytree loop that it should be
doing outside it, or vice versa. Or possibly the problem is with
the klugy way that we hacked autocommit-off into the xact.c state
machine. Do you have time to look at it?
