VACUUM on database with open transaction returns error?

In one window connect with psql to the database 'test' and execute

test=# begin transaction;

In another window as the postgrs user do

bash-2.04$ vacuumdb -z -a
Vacuuming www
VACUUM
Vacuuming template1

Back in the first window do:

test=# COMMIT ;
NOTICE: InvalidateSharedInvalid: cache state reset
COMMIT

OK, what gives?

1. Should I worry about these messages at all?

2. Is it supported to VACUUM a database with open transactions?
If not: what am I suppoed to do?

3. Why does the NOTICE move around like this?

4. Are there any problems with my transaction in the first window?

Now I'm worried.....
