There is another way: don't use a pad to simulate a via. Letting vias
retain their nets (or - in case of footprints - follow the connectivity
starting from pads) is IMHO a way to fix this and many other issues
(thermal via fields, etc.)

The main problem is another way: the NPTH conflicts with the main pad;
I don't really care about the vias (since they don't harm DRC)

Maybe special-casing hole in the same module could be a solution, if you
trust people do to correct modules...

IMHO, there is no any obstacles, that NPTH pads can have some net, only last wall is in peoples minds… ;)
