Do you have some sort of anti-virus running on the machine in question? That sounds like typical AV behaviour; it locks the file while it scans for viruses, preventing the rename/delete/etc., but by the time you get around to re-trying it the AV scan is complete and the retry succeeds. ISTR that Subversion has/had a built-in retry-loop on Windows platforms to avoid this exact problem. Perhaps it's something that log4j2 needs to implement?
