bug in on_error_rollback !?

I was thinking of recommending this to someone, but wanted to try it on my
own first; good thing that I did. I think it is broken as of now.

I assume that the error thrown for 'select 1', inside a transaction, with
'on_error_rollback on', is not supposed to raise it's head !!!

Or am I missing something?

postgres=# select version();
version
