Hmm, it only happens when you send the whole lot in a single query
strings. That's not recommended IIRC.

Will, it's definitly repeatable:
$ perl -MPg -e '$db = Pg::connectdb("dbname=kleptog");
$db->exec("begin; select error; commit;");
$db->exec("select 1");
print $db->errorMessage;'
ERROR: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of

If you send each query in a seperate request, it'll work. I don't know
if the current behaviour is really a bug...
