As far as I'm aware neither PostgreSQL nor OS version do matter for this

Yes as of this date. However, that is not to say that the SQL standard (or PostgreSQL) may change
in the _future_, such that there "may" be a "ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT OR CONTINUE" after a failure,
in which case, someone else may be confused because there is no reference to the actual PostgreSQL version.
That is why it is important to include the version "AT THE TIME OF POSTING" so that future op's will
have a point of reference for the answer.

In PostgreSQL the use of savepoints is
required:

    start transaction
    insert into A
    create savepoint
    insert into B but fail
    rollback to savepoint
    insert into C
    commit

Otherwise the transaction is, after the failed statement, in a state in which it
can not be used anymore. Is that correct?
 
​Yes.
