It appears that TRY/CATCH has nothing to do with it. Rather, it appears
that the identifier for SAVE TRANSACTION follows the database collation,
whereas the identifier for BEGIN TRANSACTION is always case-sensitive!
And it's not that it has to do with the server collation. I usually run
with a case-sensitive server collation, but I tried this on a case-
insensitive server, and the behaviour appear to be the same. That was an
SQL 2000 instance, but there does not seem to be any difference between
SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.
This is so completely weird that I submitted
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/ProductFeedback/viewFeedback.aspx?feedbackId=FDBK45704
and gave you credit for it. I did not vote it very high though.
