For a nonnegative integer-valued random variable, the displayed inversion is valid when E(X)s​sk/s!→0. Indeed the gap between consecutive Jordan-Bonferroni exact-occurrence inequalities is E(X)k+m+1​/[k!(m+1)!], which tends to zero under this hypothesis. No exchange of an infinite signed sum with an expectation is needed.
