I'd argue that any such module is thus broken by design, since it includes
undefined symbols, and should be fixed.

Why? It's one of libtool's features that dep-loading can be done by .la
files. Why should a module be broken when it uses such a feature?

I'm willing to compromise to include these bits in main (and not
-devel) if
that's what it takes to gain your support/vote.
Current rule (avoid .la whenever possible) is best solution. Perhaps the
MUST can be weakened a little bit by allowing substantiated exceptions.
