Alex, as a workaround for almost the same issue I wrote this module: https://gist.github.com/3360101 It accomplishes three things:
*) The default PageRenderDispatcher will skip Index pages. *) There is a new Dispatcher that will deal with the Index pages but it's configured after all the other dispatchers with "after:*" *) This new Dispatcher mandates that Index pages MUST NOT have a context. It forces EMPTY_CONTEXT on the Index pages. if you feel adventurous enough you can try it out and see if it fits your needs. I hope it helps Alejandro.
