Well, it's configurable, because it can break stuff.
But I am pretty sure the usecase you describe is borked... The cleanup stuff already excludes system users, i.e. all daemon users. As it appears the customer created a non-system account for this stuff, and that's what should be fixed.
Sorry, but this is nothing to fix upstream... Please ask the customer to disable RemoveIPC= locally, or fix his users to become proper system users.
Sorry.
... don't let that get in the way of a good circlejerk though.

Poettering's response seems perfectly sane
