Exactly.  Even with AutoCommit initially on, that doesn't excuse the
behavior where calls to begin_work() and rollback() both appear to work and
give affirmative return values, but actually do nothing.  Here's that code
extracted, but with fatal errors attached:

    $dbh->begin_work or die "Could not begin work\n";
    $dbh->do('INSERT INTO t1 (id, t2_id) VALUES (2, 1)');
    $dbh->rollback or die "Could not roll back\n";

It sails right through that code without dying, but it doesn't actually
begin and then roll back a transaction.  Here's the DBI trace of that
section of code:
