Rolling back a transaction after dropping a table creates a corrupted
database. (Yes, I know it warns you not to do that, but users are
fallible and sometimes just plain stupid.) Although the system catalog
entries are rolled back, the file on disk is permanently destroyed.

I suggest that DROP TABLE in a transaction should not be allowed.
