I know that's effectively an atomic action, but I'd feel a lot more
comfortable reversing that logic so the delete is based on the results
of the insert.

WITH saved AS (
     INSERT INTO dst
     SELECT * FROM src WHERE ...
     RETURNING *
)
DELETE FROM src
  WHERE ...;

I'll admit yours is cleaner, though. :)
