Clearly, I did not do sufficient research before posing this question. (But, since it seems to be an open issue in need of resolution, I suppose it works out for good.)
I would likewise support your option 2. When this element is used as a solid color, it functions just as a single part, not a shortcut of two parts. I would, of course, also add that the description of 25866c03 (proposed 25866) needs to be corrected to reflect that it's uncolored, not white-handled. (Now that I can see how the conversation went, I can tell that was merely an oversight.)
