We did, but we did not come to an agreement ;-)

I think I get it. You really don't want darcs to fail in this case,
requiring of you to decide which changes to record or revert. Instead
you want darcs to do something automatic here, like recording those
unrecorded changes that would conflict. Or something similar.

Well, I am pretty sure I would never want that to happen. My guess is
that this is only useful for quite advanced users who understand all the
mechanics behind it and know how to deal with the results.

I won't try to prevent you from implementing such a feature if you feel
it is important to you. But I would find it sad if this leads to further
complications of our code.
