Some quick testing seems to show that for the rows on which we were
blocking, all columns reflect all updates from the concurrent
transaction on which we were waiting, including columns used in the
WHERE clause.  I'm not sure exactly what other tests might be
necessary.  I'm having trouble coming up with anything which doesn't
involve a join or subquery, but that could be a failure of
imagination.
