Description
I don't have minimal reproducible case yet (db size I see this with is 60k+ datoms).
"False positives": some property entities are included in result set.
Issue is not reproducible with the following snippet, but schema and query have this shape:
(let [conn (ds/create-conn
{:bar/properties {:db/valueType :db.type/ref
:db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many}
:foo/properties {:db/valueType :db.type/ref
:db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many}
:property/attribute {:db/valueType :db.type/ref}
:attribute/name {:db/unique :db.unique/identity}})]
(ds/transact! conn [{:db/id -1 :attribute/name "A"}
{:db/id -2 :foo/properties {:db/id -21 :property/attribute -1}}
{:db/id -3 :bar/properties {:db/id -31 :property/attribute -1}}])
(->>
(ds/q '[:find [?e ...]
:in $ ?a
:where
[?p :property/attribute ?a]
[?e _ ?p]]
@conn 1)
(ds/pull-many @conn '[*])))

Research direction
Start by reducing the reported schema and query to a reproducible case, using the 60k+ datom dataset shape and checking whether retracted entities matter. Compare the wildcard _ query behavior with the discussion linked in the issue and issue #214. Done means the false positives are reproduced and a regression test demonstrates the corrected result set.
