Thanks for pointing that out. I'm aware that some of the actions are non-atomic and they might cause trouble but since those actions are infrequent, I expect them to barely matter. Also, even if things go wrong, the corruption is not FATAL, and should be fairly easy to fix.
Those are the reasons I haven't spent time on fixing it yet. That said, PRs are welcome as long they keep it simple.
