Since you have experience in this area, do you know how likely it is that something like this could be resolved? I.e., if someone proposed "just make this defined", how likely would the C standards body be to agree and do so?

These things can be fixed and often are. Some one just needs to write a paper proposing a change. I might in fact do so on this issue. It should be resolvable.
