I don't feel my code compromises anything, but I definitely understand the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. I find it useful (and use the gimp this way) so I figured I'd offer it up for everybody else to use. Perhaps the new tile code could be a configure option? (Since it's really just a matter of wholesale replacing one file and changing a single line.)
