Comment:

 Since I just filed a similar bug (#17561), I'd love to see a fix for this.
 What if each cron job is taken on an individual basis and marked as
 completed 1-by-1. In that case, you won't have 2 cron processes fighting
 for the same job and multiple crons may execute multiple jobs.

 Though, that's part of the problem - with a lot of jobs, things can pile
 up and you'll end up with too many wp-cron processes all running at the
 same time. I think I'd prefer to delay execution a bit instead of having
 too many thins all running on time.
