By "the members are a part of the partnership", did you mean "the
members are indirectly part of the settlement"?

If you find 2040 FALSE, then surely you also find 2041 FALSE?  You need
to explicitly distinguish between direct and indirect involvement.

Your conceptual point seems to be as follows, and will be plausible if
properly clarified:

  * At time T, partnership P incurs an obligation due to contract C.
  * At time T+X, an equation E with P as a party becomes effective.
  * If M was a member of P at time T, then eir obligation to make P
      satisfy its obligations wrt C extends as far as obligating em to
      make P satisfy its obligations wrt E, even if e leaves P before
      time T+X.

This is doubly wrong.  First, deregistering doesn't absolve you of
contractual obligations; second, non-players are not generally
restricted from possessing or transferring assets (only certain
assets are restricted to being possessed by players).
