Problematic, yes, but is must be addressed cleanly and effectively. Arguments over glyphs have bedevilled the acceptance of Unicode in the CJK countries, and you still hear people in Japan saying "Unicode characters look Chinese", despite JIS X 0221 carefully showing each ideograph in distinct national glyph styles.
