I got some interesting answers to my query, including one from Phil G. himself. He promises a partial fix in ACS 3.4 and a complete fix by ACS 4.0. There are some other interesting posts there as well:

BTW, a workaround I've been considering is to make a site map like the one described at http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/webbuilding.html and appending it to the footer of every page on the site. There have been a couple of usability studies that show this kind of a strategy can be very effective. Is this something that could be included in ACS/pg?
