I could shrink the window still further by implementing some sort of
final-delta_ts_check-and-retry-if-its-changed logic, which I may end up
doing, but I was wondering if there was a good locking system I could
use to shut the window entirely.

Given that the window inside Bugzilla isn't _totally_ shut, perhaps I'll
go with the above style solution.
