Well, what kind of errors can this cause in the ZODB?
If it's just a matter of writing a mixture of old and new
data to the ZODB, that's annoying but I agree it's not a showstopper.
If it does in fact lead to FileStorage damage, that's another
story. I'm still feeling touchy about the latter since 
I recently found (and still have not explained) >10k "bad transaction 
length" errors, 700 "invalid transaction length" errors, and 200 
POSKeyErrors in a single FileStorage.
