It looks like the table 433757 is locked three times in the transaction.
First in RowExclusive mode, and then twice in AccessShare mode. At
prepare time, the proclock is correctly transfered to the dummy PGPROC,
with the lock hold in both modes. But when it comes time to commit, the
lock is released twice in AccessShare mode.
Locking the same lock twice is usually handled correctly, I don't
understand why it fails in this case. I'm thinking that the locallock
structs somehow get out of sync with the lock structs in shared memory.
The twophase-records are created from the locallock structs alone, so if
there's extra entries in the locallocks table for some reason, we'd get
the symptoms we have.
Unless you have a better idea, I'd like to add some more debug-prints to
AtPrepare_Locks to see what gets written to the state file and why.
