I pushed a new version with better debug output and, crucially, logic that repeatedly polls the `WatchService` until no new events are reported. I suspect that the failures may not really be due to a bug in the non-test code, but rather caused by a single `poll` only seeing a subset of all events, with later `poll`s seeing all of them.

@bplb If you think that this approach is reasonable, could you rerun the test?
