No, that is not what that feature does.
When pfsync starts any sort of bulk update, it will increase the carp
demotion counter which makes it refuse MASTER. Only when the bulk
update finishes (or times out), will it decrease the carp demote
counter, which will allow it to take MASTER, subject to the normal rules.

Well it seems that it goes to MASTER before bulk transfer ends:

In advance the secondary firewall, which at this time is operating fine
as MASTER,
it starts a bulk transfer when it sees link-up on the network interface
connected
to the primary firewall, long before primary firewall is finished booting...
