Is this perhaps on a laptop? Some scripts for laptop use configure insanely long data flush times to conserve HD spin time. Sometimes it is even completely turned off (laptop mode). The extent flush is dependent on the configured bdflush or pdflushd data timeouts.
The truncate is independent from this because it is flushed with a different path.
