This seems to be a variation of elastic/curator#1491, except in that ticket the offending task has action cluster:admin/snapshot/get whereas what I'm seeing is actually cluster:admin/snapshot/delete showing up in the task list in the debug output:

It seems like some call is not waiting for the snapshot delete to finish before proceeding. I deliberately turned retries to 1 in order to force the problem to show up more and now I'm going to try bumping it to 10 as a workaround to see if it goes away entirely.
