Because you don't have a perfect solution, you don't want to do anything? Really, as mentioned many times elsewhere in this discussion, a half-assed implementation is better than none. A poor implementation would probably solve not even just a few, but a majority the issues that a "perfect" implementation would. Just disclaim the quality of the solution to the users and be done with it until you can come up with something better.
You cite the freenode mess. All true. Even with that major screwup, it protected their users to a certain extent, even with compromised keys after the fact. (The majority of snoopers aren't motivated enough to store the ciphertext).
