Vadim, thanks for the deep dive into the code. Without diving in myself,
let me just say that we have plenty of precedent in the BDB backend for
reserving a key ID without actually storing a row of data keyed on that ID.
 So perhaps you've nailed exactly the right fix for this -- teach the code
to reserve IDs without storing data behind them until there's real data to
add, and of course teach it also not to freak out when dealing with such a
data-less key unless the code knows there should have been something stored
there already.
