If there were some way to test it reliably, it'd make me feel a lot
better. I guess I'd as soon hear about the risks involved in not
back-patching, because this seems like a pretty dangerous place to be
back-patching (and race condition fixes, in my experience, are often
well-loaded foot-guns, even if I do trust your coding abilities more
than approximately anyone else's).
