For this case, I am with Erik, use an explicit timestamp, what does it matter if the timestamp is set on the client or server side, milliseconds apart?
A more philosophical question for the other devs, should we consider depreciating the use of the explicit row lock... lock acquisition is slow and dangerous, since it can DOS the server. Or perhaps change the semantics to have a low-lock-wait period (lets say 20-50ms?), so the client can busy-wait the server instead of tying up IPC threads?
