Your skepticism seems out of place. I actually hit this problem in testing. We could debate how realistic my test setup was, but why? It is not our policy - and bad practice in general - to ship code with race conditions. The code you added is not "for me"; it's "to fix a race condition".
Thanks for the quick fix.
