You claimed the code was fixable in Lisp. I asked you to fix it, but you said you wouldn't get involved. So it was 1:1, as our soccer friends would say. I don't see the reason why one would want that with a Customize buffer. The point is not only what we ship, but what the users have written. Buffer modification has been allowed in before/pre-change functions for years, and code that employs it could have been written. In fact, it has been written -- Customize wasn't always shipped with XEmacs.
