There is also [b][color=blue]Aてはじめて+verbal phrase B[/color][/b], with the analogous meaning "after/because of A, it's the first time that B happened".

You are quite right - the original listing was a bit too restrictive. I have updated it!

Hi, in the N2 book (03課・～後で), this has actually got a slightly different meaning, which isn't covered by the example sentences here:

~てはじめて it is not until~that
例： バイトをしてはじめて、お金の大切さがわかりました。

I don't have that book, but that looks like: https://www.renshuu.org/grammar/540/

As in: only after [working a part time job], did I [understand the importance of money].

Maybe it should be included as a related expression here?

Thanks! That looks like the grammar I was thinking of.

I currently see the second item from below (てはじめての) in the Lesson Center (Grammar "新完全マスター文法 N2" - chapter "03課・～後で"), but in the physical book, it's the first item (てはじまて):

4631a6d450d8c6a3abad96dc96b66cc8e5506750f481eaef.png

Maybe things weren't linked up quite right. I've manually added the first item to my study terms. No harm in repeating both. :-)
