How in the world would does the described issue with hash codes on distributed systems fix the issue of hash collisions in a request? Usually the attacker would send multiple parameters for "a","\0a","\00a" in a single request anyhow.
Sorry, I think I misunderstood your first post then. By "the issue", I thought you were referring to the issue that the randomized-hash set out to solve (DOS attacks/pathological performance due to predictable hashes)

It solves the issue where an attacker can easily prepare a chain of collisions for a DOS-type attack, doesn't it?
