It shouldn't harm to load babel before the user preamble, I even
think this is an advantage because many packages need the loaded
babel for translations and the users are able to change babel
translation.

A typical example, cited in bug 315, is

[see section 6]

I have always taken it for granted that babel should be the last
package, maybe with the exception of hyperref. I cannot find another
link to this assertion, but found this file, which explains why I was
afraid of supporting hyperref :)
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/README
It looks like the crucial question, really, is: What packages have to be loaded AFTER hyperref? Most things need to be loaded before.

But there is the more general issue illustrated by bug 315, etc. I don't know how to address that.
