After looking at the lazr.restfulclient and launchpadlib code, I can
confirm this.  The problem is that httplib2 doesn't make the effort to
mutate cache files atomically.

Another workaround would be to provide a unique value for
launchpadlib_dir (perhaps the result of a call to tempfile.mkdtemp) to
each invocation of login_anonymously.

You will loose some of the benefits of the cache, but if each worker is
relatively long-lived, the overall performance should be reasonable.
