As far as I can tell SQLite has no compilation option that alters the behavior
of the "BEGIN" statement, and "BEGIN" is explicitly documented as being
equivalent to "BEGIN DEFERRED".

It sounds like the fix is for Chrome to be explicit about the type of
transaction it uses rather than patching SQLite.
