I think this is mostly the same problem that also make pushing to a
checked out branch a problem.

Isn't the real problem that a checked out branch / a branch having a
workdir only has information what branch it belongs to?

Wouldn't both problems (multiple workdirs of the same branch, pushing
to a checked out branch) solved if each working directory (including
the default one in a non-bare repository) also stored the commit id
last checked out? (And then giving a warning, error or automatically
creating a detached head setting whenever the branch it followed is
moved behind it's back?)
