I overlooked fail2ban-client and thought this had to be applied to action.py. I will give that sleep in fail2ban-client a try.
I'm glad you pointed out this patch as I had accidently discarded it. Seems indeed to work although sleeping is not quite as clean as actually waiting for the command to finish as is attempted in that patch for action.py (yes different issue). Not even sure if that is possible with client.send(c) in its current form.
Could you please provide a url to that patch or add it to the bug report I made? I remember seeing it but forgot to bookmark it.
Never mind, it's at http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Fail2ban_talk:Community_Portal under "fail2ban.actions.action ERROR on startup/restart".
