Maybe, but that would just mean that the requests would get queued. It wouldn't break anything. Ideally, we would prevent duplicate attempts, but the cure might be worse than the disease, if we get it wrong and permanently think we're doing a stat when we're not.

Well, the idea was more that the next time around we should pick up where we left off. But since it's going to be the same set of folders the next time around, you're right that I might as well clear them.

Too sneaky, and that would cause issues if UpdateStatus failed synchronously, which is a possibility we should allow for (I guess that's what you were asking).
