You are creating a new update cycle inside another update cycle and
this is disallowed. No primitives are allowed to update in an update
cycle (to be precise unless the primitive does not belong to the
dependency graph of the update cycle).

I don't understand what you are saying (a word must be missing). But
yes you need to serialize the updates, see
http://erratique.ch/software/react/doc/React#update but I guess you
already know that.

You can perfectly switch to a newly created event, primitive or not.
If the event is not a primitive it may even have an occurence in the
same update cycle (e.g. if the dynamic creation depends on the
updating primitive itself). However if it's a primitive event it
cannot have an occurence in the same update cycle as this would start
a new update cycle and this is disallowed.
