As the code stands, a restore involving blobs plus --single-transaction
produces
    BEGIN;
    ...
    BEGIN;
    ...
    COMMIT;
    ...
    COMMIT;
which does *not* have the intended behavior because BEGIN does not nest.
This is a must-fix, else we may as well revert the patch entirely,
because it does not work.
