I can confirm that this works, but it has the disadvantage you describe, and also isn't particularly automatable (since the -TUXI run must occur on a different host than the one being set up).

However, your reply didn't really help me understand the problem or the solution.  Can you tell me a bit about what's going on here, and I'll try to come up with some text to add to the documentation?  As I mentioned in my original email, the docs give the distinct impression that -I is only an optimization, and don't talk about -TI as a pair, much less -U and -X.
