Nested Transactions can create references to non existent objects

There is a sequence of processing within a nested transaction that has the ability to create a committed reference to an object that does not exist.

This involves a nested transaction followed by a failed commit of the outer transaction; then an abort and another commit.

The problem is related to objects that were not correctly sorted between the closures of the inner and outer commits, such that state was not correctly handled by the abort.
