"voting corrected" does not reverse site association bonus: it's not OK

Background:

I recently got the site association bonus, which is a nice reward for my contributions on SO so far, and "top 0.89% this week" note appeared in my profile. I clicked there, and was interested who was top 1 of the week. I noticed a user (without pointing to anyone specific) that was a member for just few months who got a lot more than 200 points in one week. I was curious: how he/she did it?

And I found that after giving many answers with little reputation gain for most of his/her membership, user became active few days ago, answered several questions, accepted some answer, edited a post, and on the same day someone serial-voted his/her answers (including the previous ones) to get him/her above the threshold. The votes were reversed the next day, and now again his/her answers sit mostly at zero, but he/she is left with more than extra 100 points for... What?

I could ask, isn't it suspicious? After all, how probable do you think it is that it is just a coincidence? ;) But that is not my question. The question is about non-reversibility of site association bonus.

Related questions and answers:

  • A quite similar question was already asked, and is here, but as of today no answer is provided: Should the association bonus be reversed if it was obtained by serial voting?

    In one of the comments:

    It seems this would be easily fixed by waiting to assign the association bonus until after the subroutine that reverses serial upvotes has run.

  • There is also a question about a bronze badge reversal, given here: Why is the Mortarboard badge not removed after serial upvoting reversal?

    The answer says:

    Stop worrying about other users and their badges. Badges mean absolutely nothing. The only one that will even gain you additional privileges is a gold tag badge. There is no harm in letting someone keep a bronze badge, and absolutely nothing is achieved by revoking it.

  • There's also a question on meta about it: Why does this user have association bonus

    With the answer stating:

    Note that once you've gained the association bonus on any network account, you keep it forever and it continues applying to all future accounts even if none of your current accounts qualify anymore.

  • The answer to Can a Stack Exchange association bonus be lost? states that:

    No. It's awarded once per site if you've ever had more than 200 reputation on any of your profiles, with the assumption that you understand the basics well enough to skip most of the initial restrictions. You can't lose this status, nor can you gain it twice.

    There are few more questions about this issue with answers along the lines: "once you get association bonus, you keep it under all circumstances".

My question(s) and food for thought:

Is this really OK to let things like these be?

Is it OK to get a site association bonus even when roughly 1 (i.e. one) other member of Stack Overflow community thinks you should get it?

When I see a user with more than 100 points, I think "OK, the community seems to find their posts useful". But if out of those 100-something points, 100 are from a not-properly-earned site association bonus, what is the point in that?

Those first 100 points allow you to do things - I've experienced it myself during my almost 1 year on SO. As I got more points, I had time to learn how to use those privileges properly. Do you think it's beneficial for the community if someone who shouldn't, suddenly can (depending upon when he or she got the suspicious +100 bonus):

  • (125) vote down
  • (100) edit community wiki
  • (100) create chat rooms
  • (75) set bounties
  • (50) comment everywhere
  • (20) talk in chat
  • (15) flag posts
  • (15) vote up
  • (10) act without new user restrictions
  • (10) create wiki posts
  • (5) participate in meta
