Why does "Search is waiting for input" has a delay if using loadjob and JS?

Main search:

makeresults | append [| loadjob "$exchange$"] | eval trigger="$submit_trigger1$"

where the ad-hoc loadjob sets $exchange$ via

<done>
  <condition>
    <set token="exchange">$job.sid$</set>
  </condition>
</done>

However, the "search is waiting for input" message does not go away until $job.sid$ is populated. Changing <done> to <progress> does not fix the issue. Isn't this an inherent drawback to using loadjob as a replacement for post-processing with its many faults (unable to do multiple base searches, export button grayed out)? Are there any workarounds or fixes?

One workaround is to use <table depends="$exchange$"> to hide results until completion, and then make your own HTML message:

  <search>
    <query>
| makeresults | eval trigger="$submit_trigger1$" | eval message="Your search is running..." | table message
    </query>
    <progress>
      <set token="submitted_message">$result.message$</set>
    </progress>
  </search>
  <search>
    <query>
| makeresults | eval trigger="$exchange$" | eval message="Your search is complete." | table message
    </query>
    <progress>
      <set token="submitted_message">$result.message$</set>
    </progress>
  </search>
