I agree with Paul here: as of today, I prefer a hard error. However, I'll have to have a closer a look at this, and see if I can find some nice way to address this issue. But I'm running out of Free Software time, I have to change my hat now. I had never heard of Haiku. Is there any chance they will fix that problem?
