I thought about that - seriously, I did - as well as automagically 
unloading DISMAN-EVENT-MIB if it were loaded.  I turned both options 
down as non-obvious requires-the-user-to-understand hacks.

In case anyone's interested or wants to patch SNMP.pm:

     if($vb->[1] eq "") {

       my $numeric_oid = &SNMP::translateObj($vb->[0]);
       $numeric_oid =~ m/(.+)\.(\d+)/;

       $vb->[0] = &SNMP::translateObj($1);
       $vb->[1] = $2;

     }
