As I understand the docs, it should work exacty the same regardles if
it's in one transaction or not.

Quote:

Recall that the $1 passed to regular scripts contains the number of
instances of the package which will be installed when the operation has
completed. $1 for triggers is exactly the same -- it is the number of
instances of the source (or triggered) package which will remain when
the trigger has completed. Similarly, $2 is the number of instances of
the target package which will remain.

Both permutations are wrong, $1 and $2 should be 1 in both cases.
