Brian,

Will not work; there's currently no way to specify multiple variable mods
on the N-terminus so you'll have to manage with some work-around.  There
are plans to treat the terminal mods the same way as amino acid mods in the
code (and this was a good reminder to go implement it) but it will be a
while before that version is available.
