Ok, next time it happens I'll try to do more sleuthing to figure out if that's the issue. For now, I'm going to try adding --timeout=30 to the rsync command and see if that fixes things.
Thanks again for your help!

it polls in a sleep-loop, rather than doing a normal wait on the lock.
Still, that idle in transaction process is almost surely the culprit.
