Um, what's wrong with that?

It seems to me that an application that is using autocommit=off will
expect the first SELECT to start a transaction block.  If the first
SELECT fails, then subsequent commands *should* fail until you commit
or rollback.  Certainly if you did an explicit BEGIN before the first
SELECT, the above is what you'd get --- why should implicit BEGIN
work differently?
