There _are_ cases where it's a useful behavior, but they're rare,

That's an excellent idea!
So excellent in fact that it already is:
http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-default-values-shared-between-objects
Dang...I thought I did a search on that page for "default" and
must have totally missed it (either for searching on the wrong
page, misspelling "default", or having my eyes distracted by the
neighboring FAQ about "goto" which I certainly remember seeing in
my hunt). Guess that's what I get for responding before breakfast.
Thanks,
