I'm probably not understanding the stated issue then :) It would help me to understand if I had the scenario you describe in code. eg:

condvar c
mutex m

Thread A:
--------------------
m.lock
predicate=true
c.signal
m.unlock
...
m.lock
while (predicate)
  c.wait(m)
m.unlock


Thread B:
--------------------
m.lock
while (!predicate)
  c.wait(m)
predicate=false
c.signal
m.unlock

This seems correct to me using Posix semantics, but this probably isn't the scenario you described.
