Well, yesterday I have used a slightly different test:

3. M-x auto-revert-tail-mode
4. In a separate shell:

while /bin/true; do
  date >> /tmp/tst
  sleep 2
done

You see in 5 sec intervals the autorevert due to the loop, and in the
time between just one autorevert triggered directly by the notification
event.
