Depends on how the creation is implemented, normally device creation
over netlink is synchronous. Just to be sure have you tried to repro
with vng:

? It could be the base OS difference, too, but that's harder to confirm.

sleep 1 is a bit high (sleep does accept fractional numbers!)
but otherwise worth trying, if you can't repro locally.
