Is the key then perhaps to NOT use the default functionality of this type of analytics? I don't use this I use a pseudonymous "hand rolled" analytics method which is simply logging specific events in the program when a feature is used, and tagging those with a random session id and a persistent random pseudonym. E.g. "user 291281223233 used feature print_document in session 129871209182 ".
But I guess some of the attraction of a package like GA is that you don't have to spend weeks instrumenting your app? But I can certainly see the problem if ANY urls are sent. And I can see how weak GA would be if by default NO urls, no IPs, no User agent string are sent. You'd need to add quite a few "user_visited_page('pagename')" to your site code...
