Yep. Sucks, doesn't it? Unfortunately, if it's a consequence you're unwilling to accept in any circumstances, you should probably think twice about releasing your contributions under the GFDL.
Even so, we could do more to discourage it by not including the user pages in the standard dumps.
We already offer a dump that's almost specifically made for mirrors, the _articles dump which is the smallest of the lot and doesn't include user pages. I don't see why anyone interested in hosting a mirror wouldn't grab that as it's the smallest of them all and the only one you'd really care about if you wanted to host a mirror of the article namespace.
