I think that would result in the server failing to start.  We could
throw a warning there and give repeatable read.

Or, maybe there's a way to throw an error when serializable mode is
used rather than when it's requested.  So in the above example SELECT
1; would say, hey, somehow I ended up in serializable mode under HS,
abort, abort!
