No - digging around the code hasn't rung any bells for me either.

Perhaps just general goodness for not holding a lock for
longer than we need to?  But that would imply some case where
someone else could do something useful by being able to grab
the lock when we drop it. About the only thing I can think
of is that it would allow tasks to be re-balanced just a
teeny bit earlier --- but re-balancing ought to be somewhat
rare, yes?
