I think it depends what day of the week you ask me on. My fangirl heart wants to say they started sleeping together before the show started. But I voted other - Purely because my logic is a bit fuzzy and, like I said, I'm usually torn.
Purely because I think that they got closer and eventually crossed that line between friends/lovers between Small Worlds and Greeks Bearing Gifts.
In my ideal world, they got closer after Small Worlds - when Ianto is the Only one who will talk to Jack - and had some fondling/kissing before Countrycide. But after Ianto's brush with the Cannibals, is when I think Jack realised 'I don't want to lose him without having done something about what I feel'.
See, I was thinking something like what you're suggesting originally. I generally put their first encounter after Tosh overheard Ianto's depressive thoughts in GBG, but otherwise, I pretty much agree with everything you just said. After rewatching part of season one with "Fragments" in mind, though, I've started rethinking things. I don't know. Having them physically involved before "Cyberwoman" would certainly put a new spin on things.
It really does depend on what day of the week it is or what mood I'm in. There are sometimes where I'm positive the stopwatch come on was the first time they went below the waist. But, like you say, watching Fragments kinda makes you go, "hmmm... I wonder..."
It would be fun to write little ficlets for each 'what if scenario', just to see which one works best - and now I'm giving myself ideas. Damn it.

That's just my opinion though.
