What is this certain kind of update or insert? If it's visible to
other database queries (that aren't in the same transaction), it's
been committed. I suspect there's something in the code that you
haven't found yet--or maybe some kind of restore procedure from an
earlier backup?

Can you provide a reproducible test case?
