Does it have the same impact on performance that an idle in transaction connection has? Eg does it prevent vacuum? Does it still hold locks?
Absent documentation to the contrary I would expect the system to at best be in an idle-in-transaction state as-if the failed command never was executed. The concept of savepoints, whether in use in a particular transaction, would require at least that much state be preserved.
