I am wondering why this question is not answered so long....
Generators are not incremented inside your transaction (actually they work
outside any transaction) and therefore you cannot rollback changes to
generator value. That is the main idea of generators - to give you a
unique value every time you need it and because of this - changes to
generator value cannot belong to any transaction.

There is a statement to SET value of generator, but it is used in some
rare cases.
