+1 for rewording the comments. Here are my thoughts on the patch:

1) Just to be consistent(we are using this word in the error message,
and in other comments around there), how about
+ * Determine whether to try to reestablish the connection.
instead of
+ * Determine whether to try to remake the connection later.

2) Just to be consistent, how about
+ * cases where we're starting new transaction (not subtransaction),
if a broken connection is
instead of
+ * cases where we're out of all transactions, if a broken connection is

3) IMO we don't need the word "later" here because we are immediately
reestablishing the connection, if it is decided to do so.
+ * Determine whether to try to remake the connection later.
The word "later" here in the comment below makes sense but not in the
above comment.
+ * detected, we try to reestablish a new connection later.
