Sounds similar, however we get it on rollback (Undo) regardless if
the Undo succeeds or not. Errors during normal 'forward' use seem to
abort correctly, _even after_ the connection gets in a bad state. So,
I'm guessing that the earlier problem may have been masked by a fixup
that we're now going around, in some way.
