I don't care for that one bit: it makes the accuracy of all timeouts
dependent on how careful that caller is to provide an up-to-date "now".
In the example at hand, there is WAY too much code between
SetCurrentTransactionStopTimestamp() and the timer arming to make me
think the results will be acceptable.
