It sounds like you want to opt out of IMIP on a per-resource basis. I don't 
think there is support for this concept as such, but you can get that effect by 
stripping the organizer before POSTing (I would copy it to the notes field or 
something, probably). I could see this as a client feature, or even just an 
external script run by the user. I don't think this could be achieved with only 
a server or protocol change without breaking existing behavior, as the user 
would need some way to express their intent, so the client needs to help.

That said, I agree that at least some if not most users would prefer automatic 
"de-organizing" of bulk uploaded events.
