Rather than requiring "any rule which creates a gremlin" to modify your new rule, how about "any proposal creating a rule which creates a gremlin", so that instead of trying to handle conflicting rules, the act that doesn't comply is cut off at the root.  Even if it's passed without a CFJ, it wasn't a valid proposal in the first place, and CFJing it later can still knock out the rule.
