FadeIn _fromOpacity bug?

I am having a problem using a RepeatForever fadein/out action, where the _fromOpacity doesn't seem to get set correctly. Either I'm using it wrong or there is a bug. Here is a bit of code:

m_glows[m_currentStageIndex]->setOpacity(0);         // just a sprite

auto fadeInAction = FadeIn::create(1.0f);
auto fadeOutAction = FadeOut::create(1.0f);
auto delayAction = DelayTime::create(1.0f);
auto seq = Sequence::create( fadeInAction, fadeOutAction, delayAction, nullptr );
m_glows[m_currentStageIndex]->runAction( RepeatForever::create(seq) );	

This runs when an object is activated in the scene. When it's deactivated I stopAllActions. On subsequent activations, the fadein/ou/delay cycle will include a hiccup, that looks like the opacity at the point it was previously deactivated.

If I breakpoint the following 2 methods with condition that (this == fadeInAction (i.e. the hex address))

void FadeTo::startWithTarget(Node *target)
{
    ActionInterval::startWithTarget(target);

    if (target)
    {
        _fromOpacity = target->getOpacity();
    }
    /*_fromOpacity = target->getOpacity();*/
}

void FadeTo::update(float time)
{
    if (_target)
    {
        _target->setOpacity((GLubyte)(_fromOpacity + (_toOpacity - _fromOpacity) * time));
    }
    /*_target->setOpacity((GLubyte)(_fromOpacity + (_toOpacity - _fromOpacity) * time));*/
}

I only see the update get hit, never the startWithTarget, so even though I forced opacity on the target to 0 at the outset, this doesn't get used to initialize the _fromOpacity.

Any help would be much apprecaited!
Thanks
Greg
