I thought I had a decent grasp of logging issues, but I must admit that I had a light-bulb moment when you described the Eager Write mechanism!
Please note that Eager Writes are just for minimally logged operations in bulk-logged or simple recovery, and they just write the minimally logged pages to the data file.
