This seems to me to be a bug in ecpg: the variable ForUpdateNotAllowed
doesn't get reset between statements. If you experiment more you'll
probably find the behavior depends on the preceding statements.
That bug is gone in 7.1 by virtue of the fact that the variable doesn't
exist anymore ... but I think there are related bugs associated with
some other ad-hoc flags in the ecpg parser, none of which get reset at
what I would consider a reasonable place to reset them ...
