The problem is using one thing as media for unrelated stuff. As most people would just remove the unrelated stuff (so it fits to their need as it reduces paper cost, disk usage, increases usability in a particular media), FSF made it invariant to make sure it will be there. IMHO, adding other invariant sections to subvert the first will not solve the problem, as you still won't be able to just remove it so it fits to your needs (as stated in the freedom 1, which clearly is the direct reference, and the real meaning, of DFSG3). It can be argued that software must be treated in a different way than texts, documentation and other works. But Debian has already decided to treat it in the same way. I can see no workarounds without modifications in GFDL. Considering the pourpose of the invariant sections is to preserve the author's integrity (in the sense of DFSG4), a reasonable solution is requiring derived works to change the work's name before removing invariant sections.
