What happens when you start an RPC, but not wait for it to finish is not really defined. As you have may have noticed, it also works differently in production and in the dev appserver.
Also note that since it is not defined, the behaviour may change at anytime. I would suggest that you should also wait for an rpc call to finish before returning from your handler. This will also allow you to determine if the rpc call succeeded or not.
