Jumping into a disucssion here, so apologies if I misunderstood, but...

The point of the "transactional" mark in GTID is to inform parallel
replication that the entire event group is safe for optimistic parallel
replication - basically that it can be rolled back.

So if a event group contains innodb/myisam mix, and is marked as
"transactional", that is not correct. This would allow parallel replication
to speculatively execute and roll back the mix, and the myisam changes would
remain and cause replication to break.

Hope this helps,
