Well IMHO the problem is not to find a way to change it (though that 
might be on some platforms...)

The problem is:
  There may be LCL apps out there relying on the current behaviour of Hide()

That raises the question: Is this issue important enough to risk 
breaking them.

If this was 100% clearly a bug. Or 100% clearly a break of compatibility 
to documented Delphi features, then maybe

But this is not a bug.
And Delphi docs, IMHO are not making a 100% clear statement about this.
