There should be a more general fix than this, preferably in the Switches rule. Something like "A newly-created switch is always initialized with its default value, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. If a switch would otherwise be created with a non-default value, it is instead flipped to that value (to the extent authorized by the rule claiming to initialize it with a non-default value) immediately after its creation."
