"Let the buyer beware".
Given that bitmap graphics are NOT OK (think bloat, an MS/Office specialty), there must be a better solution. Perhaps simply detecting a conflict between an included PDF and the "host" PDF and printing a warning! Then it could be up to the user to "fix" the included PDF so not to break the host PDF. For the purpose of pdf/a (long term preservation, reproducibility and robustness of the file ) bitmap graphics are ok. RGB is one of the best color space.
