Yes, you're right.

Regardless of this issue, binding requiring a function does not allow to
keep the pin in previous state. Your glitch-workaround was actually an
use-case for such keep-old-function feature.

Yet, I am not sure if we should keep such ability. The firmware could
configure the pin to whatever. Firmware behavior could also change it
making the OS behavior non-predictable.

Yes.
