Dunno whether this helps...

I haven't looked at the pertinent Racket code, but errors like this often happen in Unix applications because the mtime of the file is in the future relative to the current time clock. Less commonly, because the mtime changed since the file was read by the app or since the app last checked.

The most common case can happen because a VC/CM system is updating the times (someone mentioned Git, and some other systems do this), because it's a network filesystem and the server and workstation clocks aren't synced sufficiently, or because NTP or some other mechanism dangerously jumped the current time clock in reverse (usually a good NTP daemon will slow the clock rather than jump in reverse).

Looking at the code, I don't see anything suspicious (assuming that 
after-save-file and file-or-directory-modify-seconds work properly, that is).
