Specify meaning of setfocus to controls that will soon exist

It is supposed to be the case that you can setfocus to a control that is 
within a repeat, like this:

<trigger>
   <label>Send me to I2</label>
   <setfocus ev:event="DOMActivate" control="I2"/>
</trigger>

<repeat id="R" nodeset="a/b/c">
   <input id="I1" ...> ...</input>
   <input id="I2" ...> ...</input>
</repeat>

But the specification does not say what happens when the focus is sent to 
I2 on a newly created repeat item:

<trigger>
   <label>Send me to I2</label>
   <action ev:event="DOMActivate" >
      <insert nodeset="a/b/c" ... />
      <setfocus control="I2"/>
   </action>
</trigger>

I believe that the focus should still arrive on I2 in the newly created 
set of UI controls, but this is because I believe that setfocus has a 
deferred behavior that is imposed at the end of xforms-refresh.

This deferred behavior is not specified, so I wonder what other 
implementations are doing.  Either way, clearly the above markup (the 
second trigger) should not fail to set the focus, but a literal reading of 
the current spec would seem to imply that it does because the repeat index 
of R is increased as soon as the insert occurs, yet the corresponding 
controls do not exist until the next xforms-refresh.
