Detlev, I beg to differ. While I understand your intention, this will only cover a much deeper fundamental problem, that appears to bite people rarely. But if it bites, it's a real PITA, hence I vote for quickly removing it again, soon. 

I stumbled across another package at least, that suffers from it, but spreading such mishaps just contributes to the "voodoo programming" pattern, that I can't stand..

Much more important, did it happened for you, too?
