I used to see this, too.  And while you're in some sense right in
that it's not specifically due to MySQL, it's sort of due to the
MySQL-based design: since there never was any way of enforcing
transactional integrity in the back end, there couldn't really have
been a way to avoid this race condition.  That said, I think later
releases have somewhat improved on the matter (certainly it doesn't
happen to us as often as it used to do).
