In reality even when you lock the trigger there is a second or two gap between frames, you can see that at 100% mag. Some star trail software detects and corrects these gaps. They don't matter unless you are viewing at close to 100%. The normally recommended setting for interval shooting of star trails is 32s to accommodate the inherent delay. If you attempt 31s instead the routine fails when the cumulative delay exceeds some pre defined threshold, 32s works well in my home tests. After the first failure a few months ago I decided to only use a locked trigger but in this case I had forgotten the wired release at home and decided to give interval shooting a try.
PS interval shooting saves individual frames, just like a wired trigger.

I have never had that issue on my D800E. But why would you put a 33 sec delay in your shooting? You lock in the remote and let it shoot continuously. If you want a 30 sec gap, when it comes to processing just grab every other image. The benefit of shooting continuously with no gaps when it comes to stars is that you gain more flexibility and more options for later. Because that way if you had decided back at home that star trails might have looked cool, you now have the images to stack and crate the star trails with.
