Yeah, this is the first system if this kind I've seen as well. Anyway, we have 
these constraints, and these might come back in other designs in the future.
We will be looking for better/cleaner way to handle this.

Fair enough.

Just to avoid confusion (in my part): if I split this patch to one big + 
several small incremental patches, which eventually lead to the current 
situation is what you were asking for?
With the patches I can document the reasoning behind the non standard 
workarounds. Probably if we see them spread out, we might be able to find 
better ways for them...
