That's true, and would be good to fix. I guess we need to come up with a way of maintaining binary attributes in the same way as "default" attributes. Today they need to be created manually. Maybe we can get your patch series in, with the version that removes the files, but warns on existing directories, and work on fixing the users, and possible remove the deletion of files when we fixed all the current users?
