What are the statistics how often this happens in practice?

Do we know how many percent of our users have two secretaries which happen not 
to be sitting in permanently connected offices and thus would be subject to this 
occurring?

FWIW, I don't agree.

Point (b) seems very much a fringe case, and requiring user interaction for 
this puts an onerous burden on all clients which substantially reduces 
usability in all the most common scenarios.
