I don't find your arguments persuasive.  This adds complexity specifically to address a case that has - in the general case - suboptimal characteristics, both in terms of forward secrecy and linkability.  Whether or not there are specific cases that might tolerate these suboptimalities, the complexity and risks are borne by everyone.

This is clearly a subjective call, so I'll step back now.
