Well, for a system to be consistent (in the meaning of CAP) AND available, the problem with the concurrent writes would have to be solved anyway (i.e. via distributed locking), so I don't think this would be an issue after a partition event.

That assumes a particular locking system, what if you're using optimistic locking?
