This avoids having a short glitch if the desired initial value is not
the same as what was previously in the data register.

I can't think of a reason not to do this.  The data register has no
effect except when the pin is configured as an output, right?

Please enlighten me if this is not correct. The behaviour I see gels
with my thinking, but there may be a case I haven't thought of.

That is correct.  See v2 and please test, YMMV, etc
