Just realised that this occurs again because the call to
RecordKnownAssignedTransactionIds() was removed from
xact_commit_abort().

I'm guessing you didn't like the call in that place for some reason,
since I smile while I remember it has been removed twice(!) even though
I put "do not remove" comments on it to describe this corner case.

Not going to put it back a third time.
