Is there any chance for psql opening a new session if it's inside a
transaction and use that to do whatever querying is needed ? Just
something like the control connection on ftp (analogy not very good).
That could cause other surprises though (could fail for example due to
too many connections open), and I have no idea about psql internals so
it might be completely against it's philosophy...

Perhaps not multiple connections, but multiple transactions per connection, like Oracle supports, AFAIK. All with a big ;-) of course. I doubt it would be easy to implement that. The assumption one-connection-has-one-transaction is probably pretty deeply burried in many backend components. Has this been changed by the prepared-transactions stuff? I may be mistaken, which would be very positive news.
