If the amount of required sleeping can have a safe and still rather 
short upper limit, that might be a solution.

If that can't be determined, it will just break under different 
circumstances - then I'ld rather tend to say "it's not borg's problem if 
your fs does not work correctly".

You can just edit the file you see in the traceback (and to make sure, 
remove the same_name.pyc file).
