Yeah. An easy solution would just be to personalize the message: instead of "you have new messages", it could say "You have new messages at [[User talk:Jpgordon]]".
That would be a solution to "omg poeple keep doing this nasty thing that we've banned but we just can't enforce it!!" It sounds like there isn't even consensus that this behaviour is prohibited. If there is a policy against it, and the policy is failing, then we can look at technical solutions.
Since policy is descriptive rather than prescriptive, if it's "failing" then nothing needs to be done about it at all.
Wikipedia would be a better place if people "got" what policy is all about.
