Yes, except that it seems more confusing that before-all:: really 
isn't, but is instead before-all-except-before-build-headers:: ;-)

Why not just add an

after-build-headers::

rule and make a note that anyone who relies on something done after 
headers are built, change their before-all:: rule to an 
after-build-headers:: rule
