Two sessions, in transaction:

                        update order where orderid = 5;
... deadlock error.

Johto on IRC pointed out I left something out of the above: "session" is
referenced in an FK by "orders", and session = X is related to orderid = 5.

Right, that would result in a deadlock. I think truly serializable transactions still need to SELECT FOR SHARE here for foreign keys to work, no?
