Primum non nocere. Rather unsettling in that specific scenario as an update 
ends up deleting half of the existing rows :( 

In any case, what about supporting DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED for unique

That would nicely sort this out, and provide a very convenient feature, on par 
with the one for referential constraints.
