I've hit another similar case except now an unexpected NULL result is
returned in the middle of PGRES_PIPELINE_ABORTED result sequence. The
call sequence is as follows:

PQsendQueryPrepared() # INSERT #1
PQflush()
PQsendQueryPrepared() # INSERT #2
PQflush()
...
PQsendQueryPrepared() # INSERT #251 -- insert duplicate PK
PQflush()
...
PQsendQueryPrepared() # INSERT #343
PQflush()
PQconsumeInput() # At this point select() indicates we can read.
PQgetResult() # NULL -- unexpected but skipped (see prev. email)
PQgetResult() # INSERT #1
PQgetResult() # NULL
PQgetResult() # INSERT #2
PQgetResult() # NULL
...
PQgetResult() # INSERT #251 error result, SQLSTATE 23505
PQgetResult() # NULL
PQgetResult() # INSERT #252 PGRES_PIPELINE_ABORTED
PQgetResult() # NULL
PQgetResult() # INSERT #253 PGRES_PIPELINE_ABORTED
PQgetResult() # NULL
...
PQgetResult() # INSERT #343 NULL (???)

Notice that result #343 corresponds to the last PQsendQueryPrepared()
call made before the socket became readable (it's not always 343 but
around there).

For completeness, the statement in question is:

INSERT INTO pgsql_bulk_object (id, idata, sdata) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)

The table:

CREATE TABLE pgsql_bulk_object (
id BIGINT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
idata BIGINT NOT NULL,
sdata TEXT NOT NULL);

And the data inserted is in the form:

1, 1, "1"
2, 2, "2"
...
