Which itself was (probably, far as I can say) caused by an exception during a 
transaction (namely, an exception triggered by an UNIQUE constraint) and 
rollback.

As always, I might be overlooking something of importance, but it seemed me 
that simple permanentGlobalID-triggered get-me-next-PK roundtrip would never 
ever cause an exception. The UNIQUE thing of course might cause an exception 
essentially any time -- *but*, when this happens, the PK will be already 
assigned, committed and safe. Thus it seemed to me...

... it actually would avoid the problem -- by separating “a transaction during 
which a PK gets assigned” from “a transaction which might be aborted by the 
UNIQUE exception“.

But of course I might be missing some important point?

Thanks a big lot for all the help,
