Until version 8 (which is in release candidate status now), there was
no way to recover from an error within a transaction other than aborting
the transaction. With version 8 you will be able to use savepoints to
allow for recovery from errors within a transaction.

The best answer to your question above, is that it is a limitation and
not really a feature and definitely not a bug.
