This sounds like a bug in TYPO3 to me.
Here is what I think happens:
Form A is loaded (with its JS files n functions).
Adding an IRRE record will add the form, but not the JS files n functions.
Thus after saving the whole form (on reload) those files are being loaded.

Next steps:
Search the bugtracker if someone else has stumbled across this issue 
(very likely).
Track changes or (perfect world) have a patch ready.
Or maybe someone else has made a patch and you can review it, thus 
bringing it into the core.
