OK, thanks - yes, I feared it is not really straight forward and an edge 
case.
Maybe backfilling with short user jobs flocking over from our user 
cluster might be an option (but would need some work on the 
accounting...). I have to think about your suggestion about synthetic 
accounting jobs - maybe one could come up with 'preemtable' dummy jobs 
for accounting backfilling to be injected on the draining user's bill 
(but might be maybe overkill...)

Cheers and thanks,
