Does a subtransaction receive an independent command counter? If so, I
could shove a bunch of work into large subtransactions allowing me to
avoid bumping the main transactions command counter.

Heck, PostgreSQL could automatically create a subtransaction (savepoint)
with no rollback name. The client sending a commit or rollback always
operates on the parent transaction and the child follows (committing or
rolling back when required).
