I was wondering if there was a hidden BEGIN...COMMIT sneaking into the
process somewhere - either from execute_for_fetch() or in the context of
using DBI from within plperl. Reading back through, you say that the
"good" rows get inserted, so that can't be the case.

The only other reasons that spring to mind are:
1. A bug in your looping through tuple-status
2. A bug in execute_for_fetch() filling the tuple-status array.

What happens if you elog the whole array (just to get the ref numbers) -
that should show whether DBI is filling the array incorrectly.
