I can't reproduce here (v2.7.0, Linux).
But note that your whole test is going to be racy, and possibly depend
on the resolution of your filesystem's timestamps. Did you run your test
as a single script, where the initial index write and the `touch` may
happen in the same second? If so, trying running it slowly by hand,
or inserting "sleep 1" between the commands.
