I don't think it comes cheap for anyone.

But so what?  There's a small timing window that causes two SA pairs
to be created rather than the normal one.  Given that the window is
small, the average amount of resources consumed by the existence of
that window is tiny.

As Will Price said, just deal with it.  It's not a problem.  It
doesn't need additional protocol machinery to sort out.  Additional
protocol machinery means additional bugs for no significant benefit.
