Even given this, bad lock timing (not that likely) or a crash (more likely) could let inconsistency in.

Like I said, my problem is not really Redis's. If I can't trust everything that uses a lock not to crash 99.99% of the time I should really be looking at our jobs and not at Redis.
Even then, though, it's probably more a matter of me not trusting things than it is said things not actually being trustworthy.
