Problem (bug?) with deferred foreign key checks?

Yo!

Why is it not possible to temporarily have illegal values in a table,
and update them during the transaction to point to real entries in the
'super' table?

=====
avbidder=> create table super (id integer unique);
NOTICE:  [...]
CREATE
avbidder=> create table sub (sid integer references super(id) deferrable
initially deferred);
NOTICE:  [...]
CREATE
avbidder=> begin;
BEGIN
avbidder=> insert into sub values (2);
INSERT 53513 1
avbidder=> insert into super values (1);
INSERT 53514 1
avbidder=> update sub set sid = 1 where sid = 2;
UPDATE 1
avbidder=> commit;
ERROR:  <unnamed> referential integrity violation - key referenced from
sub not found in super
=====

(This is Debian package 7.1.3-7, but I'm told it's there with other
versions, too)

I seem to recall that there is something in 7.1.x where you cannot update
the same row more than once per transaction. Consider altering your code
to not require that or upgrading to 7.2 where that is supposed to be
allowed.

1. It also doesn't work with only 1 upgrade.
2. It doesn't work on 7.2 as well.

This was a bug due to not noticing that a row was invalidated.  It's
partially fixed in current sources (the below works for me).  Someone
asked about this bug recently and got the patch (I missed a few things
when doing it so you have to be careful).  If you go through the archives
you should find it.  The related patch (for cases if you were to have
updated super away and made a new super row for the value) isn't completed
yet, but there's a temporary one.
