turning at a waypoint before or after...

Just want to clarify a point...
Controller asked us the other day once round the hold leave 'Dayne' on a heading of 030 degrees.

The pilot anticipated the turn just prior going overhead onto the heading. I dont want to split hairs here (nor in a busy cockpit enviroment) but I thought one goes overhead first then start your turn. I can see the argument anticpating the turn means if you get it quite inaccurate that you may end up turning too early and thus cause an annoyance to ATC.

..and we dont want to do that!
