Hmm. The error of course appears because we perform parsing and
rewriting before checking for abort. I am not sure whether the rewriter
can introduce begin/commit commands at present, but I would not like to
design the front-end processing on the assumption that it can never do so.
So I think we have to run the query that far before we think about
aborting.

You're not looking at current CVS ;-)
