Okay, I see the problem. :-\
But so far I don't see a good solution. /me thinks harder.

O_TMPFILE turns out more and more to be a nightmare for UBIFS,
it all boils down to the fact that UBIFS does not have transactions,
just many small journal updates which interfere with each other.
In this case the orphan list has an old entry
although the journal did the right thing.

Thanks,
