I also don't fully grasp the problem or the solution, and so of course I don't 
quite grasp how the solution solves the problem.

So I would also like some help in understanding.

I don't quite follow this statement.  I didn't think causality was the problem, 
but lack of synchronization, lack of concurrence in time.

In the case of transfer, the child CA is an aware and willing participant. Yes? 
 So child CA could take the action to request the parent split its CA cert into 
two CA certs and avoid the problem that way.  No?  But like I said, I don't 
quite grasp the problem.
