The documentation doesn't specifiy it but in the Entity Framework when you call ObjectContext.SaveChanges the update is 'wrapped' in a transaction.
NorthwindIBModel model = new NorthwindIBModel();
Guid id = Guid.NewGuid();
model.AddToCustomer(new Customer() { CustomerID = id, ContactName = "Andrew", CompanyName = "Northwind Traders" });
model.AddToCustomer(new Customer() { CustomerID = id, ContactName = "Aikido", CompanyName = "Northwind Traders " });
model.SaveChanges(); // exception duplicate key - transactional -> no changes to the database
