Unfortunately:

1) Software actually developed by the MDV community is a small
percentage of the distro.  Most of it is written by upstream developers,
who will use whatever they like.

I know that. But I think that providing solid bindings to high level languages, can be for Mageia a differentiation point among other distros.

2) Of the bugs reported against MDV-developed software, only a small
percentage have to do with crashes that can be traced to the type of
problem you describe.  Most are behavioral issues or packaging issues.

I agree about packaging issues. But for behavioral issues, I've often experienced that is easier to code it right at the first place if
it is 20 lines long than if it is 100. Or at least it is easier to dive into the code and fix it.
