And as for the transactions-test failures, a stack trace tells the tale:

We're trying to EXPLAIN a plan that refers to a table that no longer
exists, because the subtransaction that created it is already rolled
back.  I think the proximate fault here is in PortalCleanup, which
claims it ain't gonna do this:

    /*
     * Shut down executor, if still running.  We skip this during error abort,
     * since other mechanisms will take care of releasing executor resources,
     * and we can't be sure that ExecutorEnd itself wouldn't fail.
     */

but the test it's actually using is

        if (portal->status != PORTAL_FAILED)

and this particular portal is not marked FAILED, because it wasn't
running when the abort happened.  I think maybe we should force
portals into FAILED state when aborting a (sub)transaction.
Or leave the state alone but add a check on the transaction state
in this test in PortalCleanup.  Thoughts?

(Again, I think this is a pre-existing bug that auto_explain is just
exposing to the world ...)

                        regards, tom lane
