I believe I've seen the error of my ways. Wasn't aware :first-of-type
doesn't take applied classes into account, so the second :first-of-type
rule above fails.

The second rule has no effect, since the selector in it matches no elements. The reason is that :first-of-type only matches an element that is a first child of its parent. Nothing else in a selector can change this. When you additionally use a class selector like .two, it simply imposes an additional restriction: the first child must also belong to the given class.

You probably wanted :first-of-class, but there is no such selector in CSS under any name, at present.
