Hmm, two possibilities I can think off the top of my head are if the fk
values are being inserted and erroring and the pk rows are being done
after (which would make a later check look like this) or if there's any
inheritance involved (where a plain select will show child rows that don't
currently participate in the foreign key constraint).
