I'm hoping that there's a good reason why the one exception we have
suffers from a bug, and for that reason we should resist the temptation
to add more such cases.

Hmm... maybe I misunderstood what you meant by that infrastructure, then.
Could you outline more concretely what it would look like?
Also, would it currently result in a behavior that's different from:
- initialize all delayed vars before early-init
- re-initialize blink-cursor-mode after early-init
?
