Sorry, I interpreted your assertion of "it's broken" as "it's broken because it 
doesn't load background jobs from the home directory".

I'm not sure what you mean by "either". Agents are per-user, no matter where 
they come from. launchd cannot reliably support loading background agents from 
a user's home directory because the home directory might not be available until 
a GUI login has happened.
