Can you please take an example to explain what you are trying to say?
I have tried below and doesn't face any problem:

postgres=# Begin;
BEGIN
postgres=*# select txid_current();
 txid_current
--------------
          534
(1 row)
postgres=*# Prepare Transaction 'foo';
PREPARE TRANSACTION
postgres=# Commit Prepared 'foo';
COMMIT PREPARED
postgres=# Begin;
BEGIN
postgres=*# Prepare Transaction 'foo';
PREPARE TRANSACTION
postgres=# Commit Prepared 'foo';
COMMIT PREPARED
