Good, we agree here.

In secure mode, dvips should not trust the dvi file. I don't see why
dvips should stop trusting its configuration files. If these are messed
up by some other security problem, then the user has lost already.

So, I suggest not to disable the output pipe at all (no matter wether
it was set by some config file or the command line).

That would be great, indeed. I plan to release teTeX-2.0, soon (now that
pdftex-1.10a *final* is out).
