I believe the errors you have found correspond to some
that I found and fixed in the unstable version. Basically,
I think you have discovered that the sql backend in the
stable version really isn't ready for prime-time. You
are only about the second or third user to try to use
it seriously. The sql backend has changed enough that
back-porting the fixes would take some time that I don't
have. But I can try to help you out if you want to take
a stab at it.

You are right about the error handling -- it's pretty
brittle atm. Making it robust while preserving the
engine's data integrity isn't so easy, though.
