Comment (by dwlocks):

 Thanks for the analysis!

 After reading some code, it seems that using locks is a more robust way of
 doing this same thing.  The buildslave code seems to say that a slave will
 try to aquire locks before a build starts.  However, the documentation
 only mentions that locks may be used as arguments to a build or a step.

 I'll open a documentation bug about the last bit.
