This is, indeed, an unfortunate side effect of OP capability; however,

<plug alert>

 ESPUL, a spooler management product, will allow you to assign OP-like
capability to selected users to allow system-wide spoolfile manipulation
without having to give them true MPE OP capability.

This works extremely well for us on our systems.

OP is frequently dispensed so that users may manipulate spool files, with
the HIPRI side effect. HP should separate these two ends into separate
capabilities.
