I have found that the O_APPEND flag is key to this failure - I had overlooked that flag when reading the strace and trying to cobble up a minimal reproduction.
I now have a small pair of python scripts that can reliably reproduce this failure.

Reading the file back out of disk reveals a dropped message (a missing sequence number). This happens when the reader and writer are different processes, so this is not a bug in our userspace.
