Because CREATE USER may have to update a flat-text file. If you roll back
the surrounding transaction the changes to the flat-text file will not be
reverted and you may get weird authentication failures. This system is
admittedly a bit silly but the alternatives look like too much work for
little benefit. I think in 7.1 you can run CREATE USER in transaction
blocks, you just have to be careful.
