The contract was never well-defined.
`sbt` overrides `createInterpreter` and runs its `initialCommands` before
returning. So that runs before REPL finishes init in `loopPostInit`: no
`$intp`, power mode not entered, start code and `-i` not run yet.
I can't tell just by looking if that suits your needs here, but it's the
most ancient hook enshrined by sbt.

@adriaanm is taking executive action to modularize/make API for REPL reuse.
Possibly you're aware or he's only just started and is in stealth mode. That
will address the issue in future.
