This is horrible practice for a number of reasons, not only its effect
on VACUUM. Consider what you will get from now(), for example. A new
BEGIN should only be issued when you are ready to issue the first
command of the next transaction.
If that hasn't been fixed yet in the dbd driver, I would recommend
fixing it there.
