It's definitely a race with the creation and deletion of instances.

I'm going to run it on my laptop VM and see if that reproduces it. My other
VM is on a pretty powerful machine, and perhaps that's keeping it from
hitting the race.

Putting in a while loop of:

  # while :; do ./ftracetest test.d/instances/instance-event.tc ; done

eventually triggered the bug. Looks like this is really an existing bug not
related to the eventfs, but the eventfs code actually opened up the window
of this race.

Hopefully I'll have a fix shortly.
