Yes, it sounds that way, but I don't think it is.  Anyway, I'm only
using nntp and nnmaildir, and nnmaildir tolerates even less
synchronized concurrency.  So I'm not risking much.

Mostly because I didn't know about it.  But reading the manual - what
happens if I run a slave, quit from it, and then run a slave again
without touching the master?  Will the second slave notice the changes
from the first?  With my way, it will, and that's what I want.
