"CLEAN ROOM" doesn't always print the expected response? #17

GLOBAL-ROOM-F has this case for if you try to clean the room:

           (<VERB? WASH>
        <COND (<IN-APARTMENT?>
               <COND (,APARTMENT-RAID-FLAG
                  ;<COND (<AND <EQUAL? ,SYEAR 2051>
                      <NOT <EQUAL? ,JILL-COUNTER 13>>>
                     <RTRUE>)>
                  <TELL "You begin cleaning up the mess." CR>)
                 (<AND <EQUAL? ,JILL-COUNTER 9>
                   <IN? ,JILL ,HERE>>
                  <TELL ,MY-WEEK CR>)>)

JILL-COUNTER is documented like this:

<GLOBAL JILL-COUNTER -1> ;"used for 2041 and 2051:
              0 = sleeping (BedR)         7 = washing dishes (K)
              1 = dressing (BedR)         8 = painting (LR)
              2 = cleaning (BedR)         9 = cleaning (LR)
              3 = making a salad (K)     10 = reading (LR)
              4 = reading (LR)       11 = washing hair (Bath)
              5 = painting (LR)      12 = reading (BedR)
              6 = eating a salad (K)"

So 9 means she's cleaning the living room:

>CLEAN ROOM
It isn't dirty.

>WAIT
Time passes...

Jill puts down the paintbrush and begins cleaning up the room.

>LOOK
Living Room
This is the large living area of your apartment, with a bedroom to the north and
a kitchen to the east. The front door of the apartment, next to the couch on the
south wall, is open. A huge window provides a panoramic view to the west.

Jill's easel occupies a beautiful, well-lit spot near the window. Her current
painting is on the easel. In one corner is the old word processor where you do
your writing.
Jill is walking around, neatening and cleaning the living room.
There is a romance novel here.

>CLEAN ROOM
"You don't have to help," says Jill, blowing you a kiss. "It's my week."

But she also cleans the bedroom in the morning:

>WAIT
Time passes...

Jill finishes dressing and begins neatening up the room.

>LOOK
Bedroom
The room is almost filled by your bed, a bureau, and the baby's crib. A doorway
leads south to the living room, and the bathroom is to the east.
Jill is walking around, neatening and cleaning the bedroom.
It looks like the crib contains:
   a toy duck
   a baby

>CLEAN ROOM
It isn't dirty.

Which seems a bit inconsistent. Shouldn't she decline help in both cases?
