Looks like it was just a small oversight on my part; I had to make sure I
added a corresponding \s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:invertedfirst setup for list
entries. Here's what finally works:
```
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!cite:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
...
\startsetups \s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:invertedfirst
\ifnum\currentbtxauthorindex>\plusone
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:normal}
\else
\fastsetup{\s!btx:\s!list:\s!author:inverted}
\fi
\stopsetups
```
Thanks again, Hans!
