Good catch!

I'm quite sure (without checking the code) this is the root cause. SyncML 
plugin flags the Main Sink to perform a SlowSync (since the connect function 
detect an anchor mismatch).

BUT the slow-sync flag on the main-sink doesn't affect the other sinks. So the 
file-sync plugin will never get asked to perform a slow-sync if this got 
triggered by a plugin which is using a main-sink function (like the SyncML 
plugin).

Feel free to create a blocker bug and assign it to me. I'll try to prepare a 
fix and testcase in meanwhile.

Thanks for pointing this out!
