Agreed, but /something/ need not be a presence probe, given that you
would be asking the wrong question.

With a presence probe you are asking "are you still online?", but what
you want is "are you still connected to this room?".

Having said that, I don't see how probing a full JID is more
problematic than probing a bare jid. The risk that Peter mentions of
pooling presence status is present on both cases.
