It's a bug; when the first inner batch call is completed, it jumps
out of batch, skipping the second inner batch call.
Looks like load doesn't show that same behavior -- maybe you can
replace calls to batch with calls to load instead.
If you're bold, you can try applying the patch below which is
supposed to keep control within batch when the inner batch call
is completed. Seems to work for me, maybe someone else
can try it.
Hope this helps,
