This should probably be 492, not 491. I know what is racing here and it
shouldn't cause issue.

This is the correct line.

Don't worry, I will :)

It is used in the node->parent, as described above. It is a race, but
it doesn't matter who wins.

Probably off-by-one line.

I'm having issues recreating it because I hit a lot of races before this
one in my test setup. I will keep working on reproducing this race, but
in the mean time can you test the attached patch with your setup?
