This may be harmless but I'm checking to be sure. David, Mike, Sean - what are your thoughts here ? Does this need further discussion with conformance/compatibility engineers ?

I don't have an issue with it. I can't imagine anyone relying on it working the way it had been as the whole thing depends on a race condition anyway.
