Actually pg_transaction_status doesn't talk to the server at all. The
information it needs is available at the client side. What is happening is
that you are calling pg_transaction_status before you and the server have
finished discussing the COMMIT (meaning, you haven't called pg_get_result
enough to finish the protocol). So the client side hasn't been told that the
transaction is over.
