I think this is already specified:
3. If transaction has been marked as "bad", then raise an  
INVALID_STATE_ERR exception.

...

7. If the statement execution fails for some reason, transaction must  
be rolled back and marked as "bad".

I think you can reasonably consider a statement on a corrupt database  
to have "failed for some reason."
