OK, not only does it break in latest 9.3 stable, it also breaks in
current master.

This is the testcase:

create table mytable (id integer, foo text[] default '{}', flag boolean default 
false);
insert into mytable select generate_series(1,10);

now in session B do:
begin; update mytable set foo='{baz}', flag=true where id=6;
  -- leave transaction open

and in session A:
with tmp(f2) as (select array['foo'])
update mytable set foo = case when not flag then foo
                              when foo @> (select f2 from tmp) then foo
                              else foo || (select f2 from tmp) end
 where id=6;
  -- hangs on row lock

Then commit in session B, and watch A go down in flames.

Going to see if this can be narrowed down further.
