Dan Webb's LowPro[1] "solves" this kind of issue by registering a global Ajax.Responder that evaluates DOMContentReady behaviors onComplete.
Thinking along similar lines, you could wrap Event.observe so that observers set for contentloaded are also stored into a queue that gets processed after every Ajax.onComplete. I'm just spilling my thoughts here, but I think it would work well for most cases. How do you feel about this? (and, does it have any major drawbacks I'm not seeing?)
