I faced a similar problem in an extension I worked on. It is not yet 
published but you can find it on Forge:

http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extension-checklists

It relies on a library called "overlays" which I created to ease such 
tasks (extension "overlays" is public). However the "overlays" library 
is not enough by itself, because you still need to rebuild the relations 
as you experienced.

Look at class.tx_checklists_pi1.php at around line 169 and following and 
you'll see what kind of manipulation I make to work around this issue.
