This is apparently due to the in-place code (which --append uses) not
setting any cleanup flags for the transferred files, and thus all the
cached data that has accumulated in the file buffer is never flushed.  I'm
checking in a change that will improve the cleanup code to support in-place
files (which will go out with 3.1.0).

In the meantime, if you want to just tweak your 3.0.7 version, edit the
fileio.c file and change the line "wf_writeBufSize = WRITE_SIZE * 8;" to
set just WRITE_SIZE (not * 8).
