That patch should really be added to trunk. Couldn't you simply change 
it by offering a new syntax.

a) add-pois-to-areas -- behaves as present
b) add-pois-to-selected-areas uses your patch.

else go opposite direction.
a) instead of an explicit add command, use a no-poi command in the 
style-file on areas, so one can exclude them. then it wouldn't clash 
with current behavirour either.
