Yep. It also took me several rounds and several iterations
of those tests to really catch this.

Thanks for going through this carefully!

By the way, I'm pretty sure we have a similar problem with
the normal messaging_register style callbacks. The main
difference is that those normal callbacks don't do any nasty
things that are possible and easier with tevent_req...

... Things you find when you really start playing with
messaging :-)

As I wrote: Normally I would only ask for pushing for such an
infrastructure patch if I had run it successfully through a
private autobuild. But it failed today always in the
delay_write or other timing-sensitive tests that I believe
have nothing to do with messaging.

Thanks!
