Hmm, could it be that you are losing events *after* your callback
executes?
If yes, then current cvs might fix this - there was indeed a race
condition in the inotify code, but again from your description and:

... this is unlikely to be the same issue, as the ev_stat_stat does
nothing, and libev still will not guarantee that all the events you expect
will be reported (again, it's impossible to give you an event for every
change).
So, barring a kernel bug, this would really seem to be a bug in your
expectations.
