This is possible.

There is nothing blatantly obvious in your code, it's a bit more
complex than I'd make (e.g. you don't need multipart handling for the
synchronization dialog) but it looks accurate.

If you can reliably reproduce unfairness in the scheduling, log an
issue with a nice minimal test case, and we'll handle it. I'd suggest
trying to make a single-process test case that starts two threads, and
prints a good "FAILED" message when the test fails, that makes life
easier for everyone (except you, such elegant test cases are quite
hard work. :)
