I don't think so.  Any database changes made by a transaction should
be visible to that transaction.  When you say "several calls down in
deep_func()", you don't mean that you are in a BEFORE trigger
function, or a function called from a BEFORE trigger, do you?

Perhaps you could boil the issue down to a small self-contained
example of the issue?
