The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1740
Logged by:          Daniel Cristian Cruz
Email address:      dccruz@mega.com.br
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system:   Windows XP Professional
Description:        Deferred foreign key constraint isn't deferred
Details:

Below there is a script which raises the bug:

CREATE TABLE mat_comissao_itens (
    mat_nfs_diretorio character varying(6),
    mat_nfs_in_codigo integer,
    mat_nsi_in_ordem integer
);
CREATE TABLE mat_nf_saida_itens (
    mat_nfs_diretorio character varying(6) NOT NULL,
    mat_nfs_in_codigo integer NOT NULL,
    mat_nsi_in_ordem integer,
    PRIMARY KEY (mat_nfs_diretorio, mat_nfs_in_codigo, mat_nsi_in_ordem)
);
COPY mat_comissao_itens (mat_nfs_diretorio, mat_nfs_in_codigo,
mat_nsi_in_ordem) FROM stdin;
001001  339 1
001001  339 1
001001  339 1
001001  339 2
001001  339 2
001001  339 2
\.
COPY mat_nf_saida_itens (mat_nfs_diretorio, mat_nfs_in_codigo,
mat_nsi_in_ordem) FROM stdin;
001001  339 1
001001  339 2
\.
ALTER TABLE ONLY mat_comissao_itens
    ADD CONSTRAINT mat_nf_saida_itens_pa_mat_comissao_itens FOREIGN KEY
(mat_nfs_diretorio, mat_nfs_in_codigo, mat_nsi_in_ordem) REFERENCES
mat_nf_saida_itens(mat_nfs_diretorio, mat_nfs_in_codigo, mat_nsi_in_ordem)
ON UPDATE RESTRICT ON DELETE RESTRICT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED;

BEGIN;
DELETE FROM mat_nf_saida_itens WHERE mat_nsi_in_ordem = 2;
UPDATE mat_comissao_itens SET mat_nsi_in_ordem = 1 WHERE mat_nsi_in_ordem =
2;
COMMIT;

And here is the output:

CREATE TABLE
psql:rafa2.backup:11: NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create
implicit index "mat_nf_saida_itens_pkey" for table "mat_nf_saida_itens"
CREATE TABLE

Note the following in the CREATE TABLE documentation:

RESTRICT

    Produce an error indicating that the deletion or update would
    create a foreign key constraint violation.  This is the same as
    NO ACTION except that the check is not deferrable.

Referential actions are immediate (they're defined as actions that happen
upon the occurrance), it's the constraint checks that are deferrable with
the deferrable/initially deferred.
