Bytes hanging in NFS socket?

In a few recent kernels, I've observed that sometimes, a NFS socket
seems to keep data around:

Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (State) User
[...]
udp 3403 0 129.13.110.66:662 129.13.253.10:2049 ESTABLISHED

They seem to be thrown away with the next operation on the directory,
or so it seems. I've observed no ill effects, but this still seems
strange.
