tty-tickets solves this problem. If the script is called as many beginning
users do by clecking on a joined file in mail for instance, or doing it in
another xterm window, nothing happens with tty-tickets, but if there is not
tty-tickets, sudo works without asking password.

You are right, but I think the problem is here. It's to you to decide if it's
really a problem (as I really think) or not.

If it's a problem, it's a security hole. The question is «Is it a real problem
or not. I did not find a good category in the reportbug (whishlist perhaps but
as I think it's really a security problem...)

sorry if you think I'm wrong
