How about making the distinction less arbitrary?

How about this:  Rename occur-mode to occur-setup or occur-initialize
or occur-frobnicate, make a new function occur-mode which just sets up
keymaps and such stuff, call that function at the end of occur-1 and
run the hook from there.  WDYT?

Caveat: I haven't even looked at the code!
