Hi Pedro and thanks for reporting this.
Do you have versioning enabled? Otherwise the writeSkewCheck won't be performed at commit time. 
If you do have versioning enabled, may I suggest to take this on the user forums[1] - this way it would be easier for other users that have the same problem to find it.
