Going on a limb here...: I believe I have occurred similar issue (i.e. two transactions
go into an indefinite wait). Though, very infrequent occurrence.
My only explanation at that time was that there is some "loophole" when the
deletes/inserts had some impact also on the table indexes. In our case, the
deletes/inserts statements were invoked by a stored procedure.

What I fail to understand, Baron, is how there can be a deadlock here - both transactions
seem to be hanging on a single-table, single-row update statement. Shouldn't the oldest
transaction already have acquired the lock by the time the youngest came around; and
shouldn't the youngest simply wait until the eldest finished it's update?
Or is this a problem with the consistent view that I'm not seeing?
