That's a pretty annoying situation, yes.

Fortunately many default network names at least contain some randomness these days, e.g. three bytes of an access point's BSSID, to make this less likely.

That's also the proper fix – pinning a WPA password to an individual BSSID would go against the concept of encryption being scoped to an ESS/ESSID, not individual APs.
