Hmm, do we really do that? Seems very strange .. it sounds to me like
the lock should have been transferred to subxid1 (which is subxid2's
parent), not to the top-level Xid. Maybe what the user wanted was to
release subxid1 before establishing subxid2? Or do they want to
continue to be able to rollback to subxid1 after establishing subxid2?
(but why?)
