I started to write a response, but it's pretty much the same as Steve's response. Fluxx is more or less stateless -- whenever a new rule or goal comes into play, it's as though these had been the rules the whole time... so even if someone only just now meets the requirements for the goal, they win immediately, they don't need to first complete the current turn, adhere to any limits in play, etc. before they are declared the winner, unless there's specific card text that says otherwise. For example, if you have a handful of Keepers, 2 Keepers in play, and Keeper Limit 2 is on the board, you can play 3 more keepers and the 5 Keepers goal and win immediately (assuming you have enough play events available to finagle this) even though ordinarily you'd have had to discard all but 2 keepers at the end of your turn.
