We now have had several events of "lost records" that turned out to have been accidentally curated. Presumably, this is happening, because the default behavior of auto-curate is to flush all inboxes.

This is a bad default. Curating one individual inbox is very likely a better and safer default. It is unlikely that a curation across multiple inboxes leads to a desirable results (think target collections, etc).
