As Dan said when closing that issue, this seems to me how I would expect rendering in React to work... it's async by nature.

If you need the component's state/props to be a certain way for the very first render, use `this.state = {...}` in the contructor, or wait until the Redux store is in the correct shape before mounting the component. (I'm guessing this is what you've done in your HOC, so this sounds like the right solution to me).

Calls like `dispatch` and `setState` shouldn't be expected to reflect in a component's rendering synchronously. And as far as I know, as of Fiber, componentWillMount is even going to become a method that could be called multiple times before the component actually mounts... its usage is pretty widely discouraged for most cases: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/7671
