If the qdisc is pfifo_fast and kernel is old there could be races.
But I don't think that's likely given you probably run something
recent and next packet tx would usually flush the stuck packet.
In any case - switching qdisc could be a useful test, also bpftrace 
is your friend for catching patckets with long sojourn time.
