Yes, I understand that.

I suspect that this will either be an HDF5 bug, or, more likely, that
we are just doing something slightly incorrectly. (For example not
setting our chunking parameters correctly.)

I will reproduce this problem in HDF5 only (i.e. without netCDF) and
see what the HDF5 programmers have to say about it.

Thanks!
