My apologies for not making this clear - that fixing the problem has
complexities I understand. 

The simple part is that this issue 'needs' fixing.

I think you are oversimplifying the issue.  There are numerous ways that
URIs that point to WordPress resources can be added to a site.   Moving
from one domain to another requires that all of these instances which
are scattered throughout postmeta, options, posts, and possibly other
tables to be updated.  I have modified the url that is stored and
inserted when media is added to a page, but this only covers a small
subset.

And, the WordPress data can also be used in various ways.   For example,
a multi-site installation might aggregate posts and display them on a
second domain, or a plugin might push posts to other services.  

Inferring that this is a simple problem with a simple solution without
any ramifications is not productive.
