RFC 4028 currently does not have the restriction.  Although it would not
typically be an issue, such a restriction would prevent refreshing a
session while it is taking too long for a re-INVITE to complete.

As mentioned, RFC 4028 isn't the only issue.  Such race conditions can
basically occur for anything that can be updated within a dialog when
order sent/received indeterminate (excluding situations remedied by SDP
offer/answer rules).  If the SIP working group wishes to address it,
hopefully the working group would address it in a generic way instead of
individually.
