If the last write to the log was an InnoDB internal one, it could be
done by log_write_up_to(lsn, false).
The log_sys.flushed_to_disk_lsn would only be advanced (to somewhere
closer to log_sys.lsn) if there was a subsequent call to
log_write_up_to(lsn, true).
Log checkpoint would advance log_sys.flushed_to_disk_lsn, as should a
user transaction commit. This could be a possible explanation.
