Thank you for providing this detail. The event you created essentially sends the LIFX Led bulb all those commands within a few milliseconds. The timespan parameters you are specifying are a LIFX Led bulb command, and not a plug-in command. This means if you want to daisy chain commands in one HomeSeer event, you'll need to add a wait action.
Essentially what's happening is the color change to white isn't being updated in the plug-in before the next brightness change is sent. The LIFX API does not yet provide a brightness only command. This means my program has to cache the last bulb color, then send the brightness change along with the current color values to the bulb.
For the issue you reported in the second screenshot, the color state of the bulb is not sent until the timespan completes. In my testing, setting a "Wait 4 Seconds" seems to do the right thing. By the way, you should be able to set the color and brightness of the bulb (use no timespan) when the bulb is in a powered off state. That way you can have your final action setting the brightness to 40% over a time span which causes the light to fade up instead of a harsh power on, color change, then brightness change.
