It's not confusing at all.

Too bad. In that case, feel free to revert the changes
you've made that impose such complexity. The code just
worked - has worked for a long time.

"unless someone..."
Yes, I ask that this important feature be kept,
not lost. Users should continue to be able to
add/change a prefix arg (of any kind) at any
time during repetition.
Starting the command over (with a different
prefix arg) is not _at all_ the same thing as
continuing the command invocation.
(Think command state, and Emacs state in general,
in addition to user interaction.)
