ERROR: permission denied to finish prepared transaction

I'm seeing a bunch of these error messages:

As far as I can tell, that means that user xy is trying to rollback a prepared TX that it didn't create.
is that the only reason this error would show up?

I'm asking becase, as far as I can tell, xy is the only user on the box that would be doing prepared tx's

this is 8.3

Thanks
