Are these in one transaction? If so, then right now after the first
update, the remaining updates will trigger checks if the row modified was
modified in this transaction.  The comment in trigger.c lists the basic
circumstance, although it mentions it in terms of insert and a deferred
FK, I would guess that if there's ever a possibility of two modifications
(including multiple updates or on an immediate constraint) before the
constraint check occurred the same condition could happen.
