Never done somthing like that, I guess you have to ensure that data is
processed in the right order with such a design, as with Windows IOCP
sockets as well.

Yes, I understand, but there's a reason for doing this since it
ensures that OnSessionClosed does not fire until winsock buffer
is empty.

That may be a workaround in your special case if it doesn't matter
to lose same packets, however that isn't a general solution.
We have the same problem with SSL, where received encrypted data
has to be decrypted first before SessionClosed may be triggered,
the workaround is a derived component that overides Do_FD_Close.
