Ecto test multiple process transaction in sandbox with shared connection

I basically have a similar setup like the one described in the sandbox docs for a shared mode connection, which looks like this:

setup do
  :ok = Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.checkout(Repo)
  Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.mode(Repo, {:shared, self()})
end

test "create two posts, one sync, another async" do
  task = Task.async(fn ->
    Repo.insert!(%Post{title: "async"})
  end)
  assert %Post{} = Repo.insert!(%Post{title: "sync"})
  assert %Post{} = Task.await(task)
end

Which runs fine.
Now when I change this example slightly and wrap both inserts in a transaction:

test "create two posts, one sync, another async" do
  Repo.transaction(fn ->
    task = Task.async(fn ->
      Repo.insert!(%Post{title: "async"})
    end)
    assert %Post{} = Repo.insert!(%Post{title: "sync"})
    assert %Post{} = Task.await(task)
  end)
end

This leads to a timeout:

 ** (EXIT from #PID<0.478.0>) exited in: GenServer.call(#PID<0.479.0>, {:checkout, #Reference<0.0.3.2012>, true, 15000}, 5000)
     ** (EXIT) time out

.10:04:12.191 [error] Postgrex.Protocol (#PID<0.383.0>) disconnected: ** (DBConnection.ConnectionError) owner #PID<0.478.0> exited while client #PID<0.478.0> is still running with: exited in: GenServer.call(#PID<0.479.0>, {:checkout, #Reference<0.0.3.2012>, true, 15000}, 5000)
** (EXIT) time out

I am wondering if this is because I can’t use transactions with the shared mode or if I am missing something else. I am using PostgreSQL 9.6.2, Ecto 2.1.4 and Elixir 1.4.2
