I can't get real excited about this case. If the second BEGIN had
errored out, he'd *still* not get an empty table: the COMMIT would
end the aborted transaction, then the last INSERT would succeed,
then the ROLLBACK would complain about "no transaction in progress".
Maybe there's an argument for turning the warning into an error,
but this example doesn't provide it.
