I don't think it is expected. As I recall, it is something we fixed a
couple of major versions back (8.2?). It used to be that stats would
write every 500ms. We changed that to when they are asked for (via a
select from the table or something). Specifically because it could cause
this type of problem.
Am I thinking of something else?
I remember going back and forth with tgl about this, tgl?
