I was able to reproduce this. Assigning an engineer to triage - can this be worked on by an external contributor?

@marcaaron and I have already noticed and had a discussion about this error here, for now we've agreed not to do anything.

A solution to this would have to involve modifying the SequentialQueue to merge requests that have the same command. For now we've decided this is not a priority, since the final value that it lands on after cycling through all the values is the correct value that was last set.

Therefore, I'm going to close this out for now
