### Please describe the problem.

Happens as a part of our test [for datalad-archives external special remote](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/blob/master/datalad/customremotes/tests/test_archives.py#L171) we drop/get the file we just added to git-annex from a tarball.

It works fine on Linux, and from todays fix [8.20201007-144-g7245a9ed5](https://git.kitenet.net/index.cgi/git-annex.git/commit/?id=7245a9ed533c87abb70b2b9d06a5d3d5ea2f23b4) we no longer stall, and proceed to that `drop`.  But drop fails claiming that the content is locked.  I have checked processes - there is no some other git annex hanging around and .lck even doesn't exist before we call `drop`.
