Running multiple resizers at once sounds like a weird situation -
probably a mistake on the users behalf, right?  However, if it's
possible to do it, then it shouldn't result in corrupt data or an oops,
so it should be accounted for.
 
Sounds like you've got a better idea about how to do this than I do, so
why don't you go ahead and I'll definitely give it a good testing.
