That explanation seems to make sense.

Yeah, that seems a sensible remediation to me.
I would reduce the scope a little bit -- only create the assignment in
the BUILDING state, and skip it in the START state. I'm not sure that
it's possible to get assignments while in START state that are
significant (I'm still trying to digest SnapBuildFindSnapshot).
I would propose the attached. Andres, do you have an opinion on this?
