I don't think that works - and I also don't think that there is a way to
do what Dan wants, currently.  The code in org.el:org-auto-repeat-maybe
looks like this:

    ....
    (when repeat
      (if (eq org-log-repeat t) (setq org-log-repeat 'state))
      (setq to-state (or (org-entry-get nil "REPEAT_TO_STATE")
			 org-todo-repeat-to-state))
      (unless (and to-state (member to-state org-todo-keywords-1))
	(setq to-state (if (eq interpret 'type) last-state head)))
      (org-todo to-state)
      (org-entry-put nil "LAST_REPEAT" (format-time-string
					(org-time-stamp-format t t)))

    ....

and the LAST_REPEAT property is set unconnditionally. At least, that's
how I read it.
