The repeated open-write-close cycle is what causes it to hang around longer (until inode reclaim). Somebody else can chime in if I'm missing something, but my understanding is that we currently run a flush to free up reserved metadata blocks on ENOSPC and retry. The eofblocks functionality provides a mechanism that the out of space conditions can use to free up preallocation, but that part is a work-in-progress.
