Same old same old: as soon as you've deleted from offer_mutable, there
is no row in the view with the given offer_id; and since OLD is a macro
for the view, the second delete finds nothing to do.
You might be able to fix this by making the view an outer join, and
deleting from the nullable side first. The whole data structure seems a
tad weird though ...
