yes, if I watch for and then force outstanding heals (if the self-heal 
hasn't kicked in) prior to shutting down a node, the write lock does not 
occur. I only get the 'timeout' pause.

So I had no problem. I had an aggressive write and failure sequence and 
misunderstood how and when heals occur.

So all is good.
