Perhaps a better fix is to disable QFileInfo caching or to call

Is anybody aware of other places having this kind of problem?
Yes, I fixed one here: 43ca05ea. See the discussion in that commit
message. In particular, Pavel suggests that emptying the cache often
would cause a significant performance decrease for some use cases:

And, as I think is said there, we've seen issues with this, when using
filesystems with
significant latency, e.g., over NFS. It'd be worth adding a comment to
isFileEmpty() so
this question doesn't keep arising.
