Ugh.  As near as I can tell, the "transaction commit failed" message
can only come out if fsync() returns a failure indication.  And that
basically shouldn't be happening, unless you've got flaky disk hardware.

I'll bet it stops happening if you run with -o -F (no fsync) ;-).
But as for non-band-aid solutions, I haven't a clue.  Anyone?
