Typically it's something like this:
Initial state:
Something.cue
Something.ape
Changes:
Created ‘01 Track Title.flac’
Created ‘02 Another Track Title.flac’
…
Created ‘NN Track Title.flac’
Deleted ‘Something.cue’
Deleted ‘Something.ape’

No, I didn't know that until now. See results of new experiments below.

It's sort of bug that is not easy to catch. I've noticed it some time
ago in different circumstances, but ignored it, because it seemed too
minor.

I don't know how long I'm supposed to wait, it certainly takes quite a
while. A couple days ago I started the script, then went away from my
laptop to do other things, then when I returned contents of directory
were still “frozen”. I don't think waiting can help here.

I've set ‘auto-revert-use-nofity’ like this:
(custom-set-variables
'(auto-revert-use-notify nil))
Then I managed to reproduce this behavior. After that, I evaluated
(dired-directory-changed-p DIRNAME)
and result was t. Any ideas what's going on?
