Since there is more and more support for making OpenSolaris
a "Major (but lets not be stupid when doing it) Release",
I don't see this as a showstopper.

The same bad things happen if the user has MacOS and/or Linux

I'd argue that this is a place where "Linux Familiarity" trumps
"the way we always have done things" and we should consider
raising the reserved UID space. Having only a 100 reserved UIDs
is getting to be a bit tight.
