This is a documented limitation which cannot be removed for performance
reasons.

The style of an element may be specified using a selector containing the
:first-child (or :last-child or :first-of-type or :last-of-type)
pseudo-class but the style of such element is not recomputed when
sibling elements are inserted or deleted.
The workaround is to manually ``refresh'' the view of the parent of such
element using Select|Refresh.

That is, there is a workaround much quicker than re-applying the stylesheet.
