What about not touching the config file at all, but write to a separate file which is completely under the control of postgres and include that at the end of the config file ? You just said includes are a new feature which could complicate things, so why not use it actually in your advantage ;-) That way disabling the overrides would be as simple as commenting out the inclusion of the postgres controlled config file. And it would separate the user writable and machine writable configuration...
