OK, as I have not received any reply:
- Didn't I make it clear enough that the described behavior
  causes problems?
- Do you think it's not a bug? (although such a setup is
  possible with other daemons)
- As I'm using Avahi on Debian, should I have contacted the
  package maintainer first although I don't think the problem
  is specific to Debian?
- Is it that nobody has the time to look into it and/or
  fix it anyway? (which would be perfectly understandable -
  just tell me)

Just to make it clear: A "patches are welcome" type of reply
would be fine with me.
