Innovating a Duration during Donate

If you Donate a Catacombs, gain a Cabin Boy and play it with Innovation, does that Cabin Boy's start-of-next-turn effect happen immediately?

Technically speaking, that start-of-next-turn effect was set up before start-of-next-turn effects are actually resolved. But also it feels weird because it's still the same turn. If you Delayed a Wharf, that doesn't mean you get +4 Cards and +2 Buys.

The Cabin Boy effect is still being set up at the start of your turn (even if it happens "first") so will not trigger until your next turn as the card states.

Guide on the other hand will trigger the same turn, as it just says "at the start of your turn" not "at the start of your next turn". Ditto Hireling.

Cabin Boy doesn't happen immediately, because it's not the next turn. It doesn't say "the next time you're doing start of turn stuff," so that we have to wonder, is that part of the batch with Donate or not. It says "next turn" and this is the same turn.
