I somewhat understand why this may occur... checkbox itself submits results using the messages directly, rather than parsing/sending submission.xml.

Recently, one of our testers attempted to submit results and got a failure, sent the checkbox data dir to me to see if I could get the submission in for him, and I discovered that submission.xml had not been completely written. It only contained system info, no question sections and no closing.

We need to be sure that submission.xml is written out fully BEFORE checkbox attempts to submit results. This will, hopefully, avoid situations where:

Tester runs tests
Checkbox attempts to submit results and fails
Tester CTRL-C's checkbox, or just abandons it
Tester grabs .checkbox as instructed and sends that instead with incomplete submission.xml files
