I guess my point is that even though pickles are a python thing, maintaining the pickle_jar itself is a sage thing and it should be documented what it does and how it is supposed to work (I'll take on board your anticipated hint about improving documentation:).
It's a little ironic, but looking back over the trac ticket for #9265 the comments show that two months ago I resolved most of the pickle problems "correctly" using register_unpickle_override but as I couldn't fix the Tableau_class pickles I decided to replace all of the offending pickles. If there was documentation which said "thou shall not destroy pickles in the pickle_jar" this would not have happened.
