One possibility would be to require GIB to pass. That would be the simplest algorithm, and almost certainly could be improved upon, but even that would probably be an improvement on permitting GIB free reign to make its best guess what to do.
As to priorities, I agree that it is low. Certainly not worthwhile if just considering an individual occasion, but the frequency of a default algorithm spanning a vast array of possibilities may change things.

Fixed in v33 about opener's possible continuation over cappelletti ( assuming both others have passed before or after intervention). GIB won't do, but it will recognize the length.
It will promise 5 cards and balanced shape.
In the example -> 3♦ -> -- 2-3 ♣; 5 ♦; 2-4 ♥; 2-4 ♠; 17 HCP; 18- total points
3H would be -> -- 3- ♦; 4+ ♥; 8- HCP; 8-9 total points
But GIB will be more eager to stay based on 5 cards.

I disagree Georgi. If GIB has 3 or even two of the suit opener bids, it should NOT attempt to escape to a 4 card suit. In fact in all auctions GIB should not be voluntarily introducing 4 card suits at the 3 level or higher.

In the example, responder cannot have 4+♥ and 8-9 total points, because he didn't bid Stayman over 1N. The only possible meaning I can figure for 3H would be: 4+♣; 1-♦; 4♥; 4♠; 7- total points. (It should be responder's only possible non-pass call over 3♦.) Opener probably doesn't have four of any of ♣/♥/♠, and responder shouldn't be eager to run to a 3-3 fit.

I.e. the hand
xx.KQxx.xx.Jxxxx will pass Stayman
Later won't bid 3♥, but it fullfils the requirements for 8TP and 4+.
