The necessity of the Exclusive change might be debatable, but I think it is needed.  Without Exclusive, there's an obvious race -- INITIAL_PRIORITY is racing with an Exclusive dependency on the parent, and the outcome on the server is indeterminate.  With the exclusive change, it's possible to make the outcome of this addition deterministic.
