Hmmm... I do not like, that here the wrong month is displayed. On a
cursory look, it's easy to assume the wrong month. But it is an
interesting option and maybe misreading this only my personal problem
(and "--1" stands out a little bit, so it is recognizable).

Ups, I misunderstood you. I thought the "+1m!]" looks ugly (and maybe
"+1mx]" is a bit less ugly).

Now I see what you mean. But there are new possibilities! :) Start the
repeater now, but from the next month on always use the last day of
each month. But yes, that's seems to be a quite seldom use-case.

But never mind, I have not thought this all through. Only some random
musings. :)
