What client are you using to execute this? Some clients may insert
SAVEPOINT statements (which create subtransactions) behind your back
(e.g. psql with \set ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK does this) in order to recover
from errors without aborting the whole transaction.

(turn on log_statement=all in your config, or for the user you're
executing this as, and look for the command in the server log)
