Agreed, thanks.

As I recall (not much, admittedly) that was one of the options we
considered in the old commit, but since the other isolation levels
behaved differently we ageed that it was worth adding coverage for them.
I don't know which ones are failing now; maybe forcing a specific
isolation level is sufficient.
Clearly we should have done something to make sure these tests were run
periodically with different isolation levels.
