Bryan, the problem is that a lot of these handles are destroyed/recreated
at various points in the core. Resetting them at each possible hook allows to
have the latest handles in the cppapi objects. Storing them through the life of
Transaction without updating them regularly will lead to holding older (and
possibly reassigned) handles which could cause corrupting other unrelated
transaction's data/heap.
