It would be nicer to avoid that if we can, but I have a > feeling that we may not be able to. I don't think it needs to. We only need that information during commit and we have it there. If a subtxn aborts a separate abort is logged, so thats no problem. The 'merging' of the transactions would be slightly easier if we had the knowledge from the get go but that would add complications again in the case of rollbacks.
