Thus said Ken Hornstein on Sun, 06 Mar 2016 12:10:04 -0500:

Fixing this might  be tough ... I don't know  how locking behaves when
you truncate a file (although I see that it uses creat() to truncate a
file, rather than ftruncate(); that seems weird to me?). So maybe it's
not hard.

This effectively prevents inc from stomping on itself:

$ cat /usr/local/bin/inc
#!/bin/sh
REALINC=`dirname "$0"`/inc.real
INCLOCK=`mhpath +`/.inc.lock
exec setlock $INCLOCK "$REALINC" "$@"
