Okay, I answered this myself.
Apparently, ExecCommandOk() and ExecTuplesOk() return true or false, not
PGRES_* values. Beyond that, there is no other clue about why a query
would fail. The PGRES_* values are only returned by the Exec() function,
which you are discouraged from using, for some reason.
I read this in the docs in the first place, but dismissed it as a
misprint. Duh.
