Comment (by int-e):

 Here's a more enlightening example:

 {{{
 import GHC.Conc

 main = do
     t <- atomically $ do
         alwaysSucceeds (return 42)
         return 23
     print t
 }}}

 This will print 42 instead of 23. I believe that if any invariants are
 checked, the result of {{{atomically}}} will be that of the last
 invariant.
