This looks a bit more convoluted than necessary.  Is it the same as

	if (refs->be->transaction_begin &&
	    refs->be->transaction_begin(refs, tr, err))
		FREE_AND_NULL(tr);

If it were just a matter of flipping the early return and freeing of
the transaction before going to clean-up, then that would have been
less effort than leaving the TODO: comment.  What other things are
needed to plug this leak?
