Comment (by joehoyle):

 Quick update on this - I took a bash at writing this into the Memcached
 plugin we use, as a proof of concept. This is at
 https://github.com/humanmade/memcache-object-cache/pull/1. The tradeoff is
 loading WordPress will add about 30 memcached `get()` calls - depending
 entirely on your setup of course. In our environment, that's a tradeoff
 I'm willing to make to avoid data corruption / deletion which is something
 that happens far too often with the current design of `alloptions`.
