The issue filed against multipath-tools on launchpad is way old.
multipath, long ago, switch to the libprio implementation for good
reasons. The version shipping in Wheezy is based on the libprio
implementation. It does not have path checkers. Whether the libprio
implementation has the same problem, someone has to verify it.

Regarding the fix we put in Debian for slow device handling, this
approach will also accommodate SAN Boot environments.
