This "feature" is severely broken and yes, outright removal is what I'd suggest for a fix. HFS+ allows hardlinks to files, which means that you allow multiple dentries for the same inode with ->lookup() in it, which is asking for deadlocks. This is fundamentally not supported. Considering that forks are lousy idea in the first place, I'd seriously suggest to remove that idiocy for good.
