Hmm. Good point. There's no way to solve this via changes to the new racial ability. The proper solution to this would be to modify the internals a bit. When tallying up the total number of skill points, any skill that is bootstrapped would not add the extra +1 to the tally. I'll put this on the todo list.
If you want, you could solve this by creating a Mechanics thing that essentially undoes the +1 that I describe above. The thing would iterate through all skills and then subtract one from the tally of skill points used for any skill that is bootstrapped instead of user-added. The timing would need to be done shortly after the current tally is done internally.
