I will look at the bug, but offhand your description of the code is
missing something important (or, I misunderstood you).

That's not true, though: you didn't examine what happens to those jobs
_after_ they get put on the waiting chain.
Later they're taken off the chain and start_waiting_job() is invoked
with each of the waiting jobs, and (assuming it doesn't go _back_ on the
waiting chain) start_job_command() will be run on it at that time, and
commands_started will be incremented then.
