I double checked this; it's fine.  I use release_move as part of the
shadow operation in the transaction manager.  As such we know a write
lock is going to be grabbed on it straight away (which will dirty and
prompt a rewriting of the block nr).  Also in the event of a crash
before the next commit, the new block wont appear in the metadata at
all.
