In dead244 the documentation was updated:

Please note, however, that run commands block Finit, meaning you
cannot call initctl to start, stop, reload, or other such operations.
The only initctl commands possible are those that enable and disable
services and even then you should make sure to use the --force option
since otherwise initctl will try to connect to Finit.

This is the last major limitation of Finit after #356 was fixed. To fix
it Finit should be split in two, a front facing service end and another
one that handles service monitoring and runlevel transitions.

See also #137.

Follow-up to 4701ede: reschedule bootstrap check while not done
ddedcf7 
Non-trivial systems, like Infix[1], require more than one lap around the
track to warm up.  This is a follow-up to issue #362, commit 4701ede, in
fixing an obvious oversight in the new sm_check_bootstrap() work.  While
there are still outstanding bootstrap tasks or services that have not
yet started, we must reschedule the worker.
