Agree that this is a potentially system-damaging problem that will only get worse if not directly dealt with. In this case, I think the advice in the OP is good however: address the feedback from the good review, resubmit, and once the paper is accepted, then contact the editor with concerns once it's clear that you aren't objecting to needing to revise.
