This is likely why I had different results seemingly affected by timing. Mike reminded me of it this morning. What do you have set for no_path_retry, because when I set it to queue, it blocks the paths coming back for some reason. I am now investigating why that is happening :). I see now I need to add "simultaneous all paths lost" scenarios to my QA testing, as its not a common scenario.
