You misunderstand me. If the complicated hash function is the one that is less exercised, you _will_ face problems. OTOH if you _already_ need the "complicated" hash function, there is _little_ point not to use it, and be consistent between platforms, _especially_ since now all people eat the same dog food. So I never thought about the simple hash function as being a burden.
