Hello Iver,

Is the conflict between the present subjunctive, indicating a wish and
therefore aspectually incomplete (imperfective) and the perfect which
indicates perfective aspect?

That's exactly the conflict!   I guess the problem is more in my English
mind than it is in Greek text.  It's probably perfectly good Greek, just
(aspectually) confusing English.

Now I can go to sleep!  Thanks for hitting the nail on the head.
