Short answer: Actually, I don't think so (that is, I don't think we'd 
see this bug at all).

Longer answer: Sharing was the case I was worried about, because it was 
the only situation I (thought I) knew of where an existing item could be 
updated by something in a background thread (actually, repository view). 
Email's not a problem because, though we get new items in a background 
thread & repository view, there's never a situation where we'd get a 
change to an existing item that way; for this to be a problem under case 
E, that existing item would have to be displayed in the detail view when 
the change comes in.
