I suspect most cases of "wanting to want" are better described as cases of internal conflict, where one part of us wishes that there weren't other parts of us with different conflicting wants.
The thing I'm getting from all this is: Any time you have two desires that turn out in the environment to be contradictory, you could also have a desire to change one of them (the 'lesser' one?)
But we don't always get this desire to want something different, I'm wondering if always should, never should, or if there is some clear rule.
