Nope. It's not really a "solvable" issue in the sense that we'd need to 
change the way they work for them to work ok when several users 
interact. And I didn't have the occasion to do measurements yet to check 
the real-life implications of toggle refs...

The best solution so far is to simply advice application writers to use 
a single dynamic extension language at a time. For instance if you wish 
to use python you should probably explicitely disable the seed loader. 
Maybe the other way (i.e. explicit enabling instead of explicit 
disabling) would be more practical?
