What you seem to be missing here is that the behavior described
above is ONLY specific to UNIX-DOMAIN sockets.  The description
above is generally (but not always) true for the TCP/IP protocol.

Data CAN be lost if the TCP connection is RST.  It has nothing to
do with the ordering of accept() with respect to close().
