   [M:3/2][Q:3/4] % this *IS* a change of beat even though the
                  % last beat assignment in the text is the same

and I realise that I don't fully understand what he's getting at.  I don't
understand why the second one IS a change.

There is a scope question.  In what follows, a b c... are used as labels for
pieces of music.  Q1, Q2, Q3 etc are places where one might put a Q:
command.
|:  a. Q1 b [1 c  Q2 d  :|[2  e Q3  f ||  g Q4 h

Here is what I propose:
Q1 applies to b c and e
Q2 applies to d ONLY
Q3 applies to f and g
Q4 applies to h
a is played at the default tempo on both repeats.

There is no way to specify that the a repeated section is to be played at a
different pace for the two repeats other than writing it out twice.
