I've been confused by this too, but, it is the design.
A view will not be initialized until all its subviews have been
initialized. `initstage` does two things:
1) It tells the parent of this view that it does not have to wait
for this view to complete instantiation.
2) It causes the instantiation of the children of this view to be
delayed.
The view with the `initstage` declaration will be initialized when
its children have completed instantiation (which can be forced by
calling `completeInstantiation` on the view. In your first example,
since v2 has no children, it is initialized immediately.
[This article](http://www.laszlosystems.com/~adam/blog/archives/
000027.html) by Adam may be helpful too. It has several examples
exploring the use of `initstage`.

I have the following piece of code:

<view name="v2" width="50" height="50" initstage="defer">
<attribute name="bgcolor" value="${parent.bgcolor/2}"/>
</view>
</view>
</canvas>
According to my understanding of the Instantiation, the view "v2" is
not initialized unless "completeInstantation()" is called. However,
it is initialized.
If I add a subview to "v2":
<canvas>
<view width="100" height="100" bgcolor="0x00ff00" name="v1" >
<view name="v2" width="50" height="50" initstage="defer">
<attribute name="bgcolor" value="${parent.bgcolor/2}"/>
<view />
</view>
</view>
</canvas>
then "v2" is not initialized.
Is it the design or a bug?

Thanks a lot!
I want to learn more about laszlo initialization and instantiation, and
I find the "Understanding Instantiation" in laszlo reference appendix is
not enough. Where can I find more readings about this?
