yes, my thought here (that i forgot to mention) was that when
we have multiple API2Requests their start/finish and the 'afterlayout'
may overlap so i only wanted to activate the mask when this load
was not finished

thinking about it a bit more though, i think what would be better here
is a ref counting of running api2 requests on that waitMsgTarget
and only unmask when the count reaches zero... I'll send a v2 for that

true, but those can only happen (as you mentioned) at yield points (await)
and since most of our code is non-async i did not mention it here, but
yeah one additional sentence about it being non async is probably warranted

yeah maybe, I'll see if i can find out when it still worked and why..
could also be general browser behavior change though
