I'd be very surprised if this wasn't a cause of many of our problems in Linux too. I suspect a common case is someone querying the DB (`rpm -qa`) when an transaction happens, and then theoretically-read-only operation ends up writing stale data back, but I haven't actually had the time to sit down and try to pinpoint it.
