Comment (by dustin):

 True -- but we have a lot of built-in steps that process logs verbatim at
 the completion of the step.  I would expect those steps to have been
 having trouble for a long time.  So I bet this isn't a showstopper, and we
 can work around it pretty easily.

 Processing logs as a big string after step completoin is actually
 discouraged in nine -- better to use a !LogObserver instead.

 How about:

  * fix (so, for the 0.9.0 buildslave release) by processing the deferred
 properly
  * for older slaves, include a hack on the master side to delay for one
 second after a step completes before processing logs.
