Hi Andrew, We ended up doing exactly the sort of thing you describe. We have a go block inside IWillMount, listening for messages from the server (in our case via browserchannel, but exact same idea). Inside this go block we apply updates from our server by calling transact! on the app data.

IWillMount in Om) is called once at the very beginning of the React lifecycle (http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/component-specs.html#mounting-componentwillmount), so it's not going to cause the kind of strange behavior you're concerned about. If a message comes in and transact! gets called, an update will be scheduled and rendering will happening as expected.
