I unfortunately didn't really follow the discussions in the past (sorry :(
), but are the transaction state modifying statements done in a
subtransaction supposed to live beyond subtransaction rollback?

For example,
sszabo=# begin;
BEGIN
sszabo=# begin;
BEGIN
sszabo=# set transaction read only;
SET
sszabo=# select * from a;a
---6
(1 row)

sszabo=# rollback;
ROLLBACK
sszabo=# update a set a=6;
ERROR:  transaction is read-only
