Yes, I understood -- but evidently, at least some places _had_ gotten the
refcounting right (by locking the mutex before manipulating the count).

Then there's my own https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98602,
about races on (seemingly) buffer object state. Come to think of it, I
wonder if this is the same root cause as what makes CasparCG unusable on i965
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91379).
