This may be fixable --- I'm thinking that the problem has to do with not
passing down parameters from one portal to another in a situation where
they probably should be.

I'm up to my keister in PITR and nested-xact issues and won't have time
to look at it soon.  Do you want to take a look and see if you can find
where the ball is getting dropped?

This won't be salable unless we decide we really need a protocol change
to support nested xacts properly.  With the change to SAVEPOINT syntax
the motivation for that may have diminished --- in particular I doubt
that we can usefully report a nesting depth, so the urge to fool with
the Z message has diminished greatly (in my mind anyway).

I'd suggest looking into the parameter issue if you want to have
confidence in a fix being available in 7.5.
