That's a very, very ugly solution then. I'd almost say it's unacceptable to add more than 1, maybe 2 seconds for something like this.
Is there really no way to avoid that?

Of course there is, I described it earlier in the bug log - do not add any timeout but document the "rootdelay" parameter in the release notes and let affected users set it to an appropriate value themselves (and there's a good long-term solution as well...but you'll have to read the BR for that one :))
