Ah, that clears things up. Definitely a multi-part bug on our part. I've updated
the DBD::Pg docs to mention that the large object functions will not work if
AutoCommit is enabled. The dbdpg code now throws an error if the functions are
called while in the AutoCommit state. However, I also carved out exceptions for
lo_import and lo_export: they are atomic, so no reason why they should not work
even with AutoCommit! All of this will be in the next release of DBD::Pg,
version 2.11.9, which should be released in the next few days. I also opened a
bug for this, which is now the best place to track the issue:

Thanks for reporting this and for following up once discovering the AutoCommit part.
