Yes, the actual _reason_ why just those two commands fail I don't know
myself until now. But it seems to be related to the fact SQLite changed
its OS abstraction layer as this is the major change between SQLite 3.4
and 3.5 which can cause a difference here. OTOH for Monotone's SQLite
operations this isn't really a problem IMHO -- except that we would like
to understand the failure, of course.
