This is because you have set up your TODO keywords as `sequence',
not as `type'. So the repeater assumes that this is a sequence
of states that should be repeated.
If you did
#+TYP_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) REPEAT(r) WAITING(w) APPT(a) | DONE(d)
CANCELLED(c) DEFERRED(f)
this would work as you expect.
Type or sequence make a difference only in two situations:
1. When the repeater rests an entry
2. When you press C-c C-t and *don't* use fast access keys
to TODO states. Then `C-c C-t' will jump directly to DONE
from any not-done state.
Sounds pretty consistent to me.
I guess we could have a property to force a particular repeat state
where needed....
