I did not know that.  Is that required by spec?

It definitely doesn't happen in psql:

test=# select now(); select now();
              now
-------------------------------
 2011-03-31 17:38:41.345244-05
(1 row)

              now
-------------------------------
 2011-03-31 17:38:41.410403-05
(1 row)

test=# begin; select now(); select now(); commit;
BEGIN
              now
-------------------------------
 2011-03-31 17:38:58.593238-05
(1 row)

              now
-------------------------------
 2011-03-31 17:38:58.593238-05
(1 row)

COMMIT

I would have expected more or less the same from this:

import java.sql.*;
public class MultiStmt
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection
            ("jdbc:postgresql:test", "kgrittn", "");
        Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
        for (boolean rsfound = stmt.execute
                ("select now(); select now();");
             rsfound || stmt.getUpdateCount() != -1;
             rsfound = stmt.getMoreResults())
        {
            ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
            while (rs.next())
                System.out.println
                    (rs.getTimestamp(1));
            rs.close();
        }
        stmt.close();
        con.close();
    }
}

When I run that, I see that it behaves as you say.
