Thank you for the reference! Yes, it looks very similar. Though I can't
say the sleep you proposed helps the failure reproduction (I've tried
026_overwrite_contrecord.pl and saw no more frequent failures or so).

My bisect run ended with:
210622c60e1a9db2e2730140b8106ab57d259d15 is the first bad commit

Other buildfarm failures with this Assert I could find kind of confirm this:

(presumably a first failure of this sort)
