Why would repeatable read raise an error? I'm a little rusty but I thought it was only serialisable that could do, and that repeatable read simply ensured that the committed writes of transaction 2 would not be read in transaction 1, so it updating over the top of 2 is fine.

I think you're right. An UPDATE would fail, but not an INSERT.
