It isn't a bug. Cleanups are for just wrapping things up, not doing work.
You might not even be able to open and use that file if your pool is in the
process of being destroyed.
Doing significant work at cleanup time, *especially* things which involve
that same pool, is flat out prone to bugs. The cleanups are not ordered
(they shouldn't be), and the fact they are running means that the pool's
usability is marginable. Note that the pool's subpools have already been
destroyed.
It isn't a bug.
