After invoking this restart, the controller is gone. I don't know
exactly why, but I suppose the reason is that the current transaction
isn't aborted.

I don't want to remove it, I want to change its behaviour to do something
more appropriate (i.e. do what the ABORT-TRANSACTION restart does).

This can be achieved by providing the ABORT restart inside the transaction
code via RESTART-CASE/RESTART-BIND.
