What was happening is that in some cases (trigger mismatch, specifically) we never called span.End() (or at least we did so very late, because the deferred call was happening at the end of the batch execution). So we are seing some long spans towards the end of the batch execution (see screenshot).
TBH I still don't understand why they are not even longer - though probably the explanation is that there are many such long spans, all with deferred .End() queued, and the most recent ones are simply ended first when the function ends, and after a certain number the trace collection rate limiting kicks in (otherwise we'd see spans minutes old)
Anyway, I fix this by doing the span generation and scenario execution in a closure so that the deferred End does not wait forever.
