Trying to get my mind round that...

Yes, that could be the reason.

Baloo_file_extractor batches up its work, baloo_file does it when looking for
new/changed files, maybe not when responding to iNotify events and I think it
commits file by file after deletes.

I think there's an argument for increasing the "40 files" batch size for
baloo_file_extractor, that would come with a little more memory use but cut
down on the total writes. 

Stefan says that people think they know how Baloo works better than he does,
the above is just from observation and guesswork :-)
