An on-login trigger is *necessarily* a foot-gun; I don't see that this
particular failure mode makes it any worse than it would be anyway.
There has to be some not-too-difficult-to-use way to bypass a broken
login trigger. Assuming we are happy with the design for doing that,
might as well accept the hazards.
