No, that was my point in making the original suggestion: if keyword 
initialization is used to initialize biref attributes, and the other end 
of a biref has an observer, that observer will be called with the 
item-being-initialized in an indeterminate state. That's bad, so I 
suggested that we use observersDeferred() to avoid this problem.
