This insert check here is deferred to commit:

But the check here is not deferred to commit:
postgres=# CREATE TABLE tbl (i int check(i<>0) DEFERRABLE) partition
by range (i);
CREATE TABLE tbl_1 PARTITION OF tbl FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (10);
CREATE TABLE tbl_2 PARTITION OF tbl FOR VALUES FROM (20) TO (30);

CREATE TABLE

SET CONSTRAINTS
postgres=*# INSERT INTO tbl values (1);
ERROR:  new row for relation "tbl_1" violates check constraint "tbl_chk_1"

I dont think it's a problem, in the second case there are two DEFERRABLE CHECK constraints and you are marking one as DEFERRED but other one will be INITIALLY IMMEDIATE. so we can use "SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED;".
