All of the above are fixed.

Also, I have addressed Thierry's concern about putting the plugin in
betxnpreoperation by splitting the plugin into two phases: modification
and validation. Now all modifications occur in bepreoperation and all
validation occurs in betxnpreoperation.

Additionally, I have new code to trigger a new replication in the case
where a validation error occurs and we are in a replication transaction.
Thus, when A attempts to push an old counter value to B, B will now
replicate the latest value back to A.
