This new code isn't reachable, since we return in the lines shown in the
diff context.

Should it have been "ret = REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR"... in the first place?
I think the "goto error" was already unreachable, so possibly the error
is in an earlier patch. (I didn't look; Coverity flagged this in the
final state in 'jch').
