Internally the driver splits each batch into sub-batches of 250 to send to
the server to reduce the possibility of deadlocking the network
connection.  When auto-commit is enabled in the driver, the auto-commit
setting affects the whole sub-batch of 250 because of how the
frontend/backend protocol works.  So you are seeing some oddities because
of some implementation details and you should not use auto-commit with
batch statements.
