"The way to fix this would be to make a new ticket buying mode in wallet that slightly overpays and creates a number of outputs based on the max estimated ticket difficulty before the new difficulty block is mined, and then spends those outputs immediate and gives change back to the wallet."

Another consequence of the current behavior is that dcrticketbuyer is not actually bidding for slots in the next block, but for the block after the next. This is because it will always take 2 blocks for a ticket purchase to go through.
