That sounds plausible, though it also sounds like a different issue to
what gmb was originally hitting.  Perhaps the browser tests call back
into the web app on a separate thread, or in a different database
transaction?  (Though it seems like that would break some code that
writes to the db and then tries to see it from a browser.)
