That was such an obvious design flaw that I raised it at (I think) one of the Engineered Systems breakfast seminars.

The point I made was in reply to the "you only need one of each background process for the whole system rather than one of each for each database."

The follow-up answer to this was that you are able to define multiple log writers (not just I/O slaves for a single log writer). At that point I should have asked whether these multiple writers would behave like the multiple log writers you get in RAC, viz: separate log file groups that have to be resynchronized on recovery - but I didn't ask that question because it was such an obvious implementation detail that I didn't even think about thinking about it.
