Kristian,
The transaction is effectively committed once it is written to the binary log (and all preceding transactions are also written) since a recovery at this point will find and commit the transaction. Therefore it is not necessary to maintain the commit order, but for {inno,xtra}backup to work correctly it is sufficient to get the file and position of the last committed transaction, which is readily available in last_complete or last_durable.
