Thanks for narrowing this down so conveniently for me! I've fixed the race condition, but there is one downside: under concurrent situations like the one above, the remote file might be downloaded multiple times. All my ideas for avoiding the race while guaranteeing only one download were complicated, and seemed to open up other possible races or deadlocks. So I've traded away some performance (in the form of wasted bandwidth) for simplicity and correctness. After a little more testing, I'll upload a version that you can test with your buildd, if you like.
