I recently started creating/maintaining packages for the AUR. One

Python 3 packages, but that breaks Python 3 package building for users
who relink. Using "python3 setup.py" fixes that problem.
Could that policy change? I searched around for a conversation, but
couldn't find anything. Also, the policy itself is undocumented in the
wiki and /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-python.proto.

AFAICR users who relink python to python2 are on their own. This
breaks repo packages as well, not just AUR packages.
Correct. This currently breaks all sort of stuff so is completely
unsupported.
