Do you suppose that comes from the fairly late point at which I start referring to the characters by different names, or do you think it's an intractable element of the story? If I had switched the naming schemes earlier on, would the same problem still be there for you?

In my reading of it, at the point the sex happens the transformations are well past halfway completed- the identities of the two participants are almost fully changed, and their bodies that lag only a short way behind. Maybe that doesn't come across well in my writing.

If I was reading something that felt like pedophilic incest, I also wouldn't enjoy it- it crosses two rather serious taboos for me. If other people are reading the story in that way, apsm, then I'll rewrite a few sections of the story to make it more clear that, by the time the sex happens, it's between two people who are, mentally and (almost) physically the mother and the father of the family.
