Agreed, at Conifer we implemented this policy via the circ scripts
(after much gnashing of teeth and lamentations in the early days).
There would be much wailing and lamentation if we switched to in-db
circ and this problem started popping up again.

I would suggest caching the value of the global flag at initialize()
time, as it is unlikely that the global flag will change very often;
otherwise the patch looks good to me.
