This looks like a persistency bug.

Persistency bugs of this kind happen when a nonpersistent mutable
instance is modified in place without that the containing
persistent object is told about the change.

Then the change is persisted only accidentally (together with
another change of the containing persisted object).
However, the change is seen inside the connection that did
the change -- until the containing persistent object is flushed
from the ZODB cache (or a restart happens, of course).
