Hello, thanks for the bug report.

I'll leave the definitive answer to Tyler Hicks, the upstream kernel maintainer, but I'll try to field this question as best as I can.

Basically, there is a bit of time where the new file exists only in kernel memory, before it gets synced to disk. You might try running "sync", and seeing if it gets flushed.

Tyler, can you provide some more information?
