I am seeing an inconsistent behavior when testing the watches with this kernel. Is anybody else encountering something similar?

Below you will find the manual steps I am performing, and they only generate two records (for the first touch, and the remove).
I also tried to set permissions to "reaw" to ensure I get all records, but that didn't help either.
