The code related to this issue:

    fileLength := !fileLength + smallFileLength;
    if !fileLength >= bigFileLength then begin
      fileLength := 0;
      let t = Unix.gettimeofday () in
      if t -. !t0 > 0.05 then begin
        Trace.statusDetail ("scanning " ^ Path.toString path);
        t0 := t
      end
    end

It means that updating is done every 50ms. I am not sure there is a
real inconsistency here... At least upstream author made it on purpose,
and I prefer to have unison computing checksum than trying to display
precisely its status.

Do you really want to keep this bug open. This is really minor and only
a matter of taste...
