I found some other races and installed a fix for them as Emacs trunk bzr 118095. I expect this patch to be harder to backport to older Emacs versions, and less urgent as the races appear to be less likely.

Since we have fixes installed in the trunk I'll take the liberty of closing the Emacs bug report. Please let us know if the bug occurs even with the fixes; if that happens I plan to reopen the bug report and look into it further.
