I agree.  This also opens a security hole both on dialup machines and on
public workstations which is not inconsiderable, and which will be much
more visible when all users go on AFS.

Let's just say for now that I can easily make you run my dotfiles (or
*any* dotfiles) with your Kerberos tickets if I felt like it...

You figure it out; it's pretty obvious, and should be fixed.
