You can't lose the rows being inserted. They'll be inserted into the
one and only one segment appropriate - or it'll throw an exception
that there's no partition for that row.
However, DML can block a partition exchange operation, so it's best to
wrap such changes in a loop akin to Jonathan Lewis' do_ddl function in
order to eat ORA-00054 errors caused by an inability to get an
exclusive lock on the partition being shuffled out.
