I think you are wrong, the sequence are not affected by transactions ( on rollback
the serial is not rolledback ), but however the value are isolated between transactions.

I don't see the problem:

#section1

begin;
insert into test (b) values ( 1 );

#section2

begin;
insert into test (b) values ( 1 );


#section1

select currval('test_a_seq');   <==== give 1


#section2


select currval('test_a_seq');   <==== give 2
