Please find attached v2 that should not produce the issue anymore (I launched a
lot of attempts without any issues). v1 was not strong enough as it was not
always checking for the dependent object existence. v2 now always checks if the
object still exists after the additional lock acquisition attempt while recording
the dependency.

I still need to think about v2 but in the meantime could you please also give
v2 a try on you side?
