I think "reinstall fixing" is due to the fact that most OS'es handle PEAR 
terribly. For example some of them stores PEAR .pearrc file in users Home 
directory. These .pearrc files are constantly cleared by OS cleanup 
services (or after user logout) and horde_dir setting is cleared with 
them. I think there was a ticket on bugs.horde.org to switch installation 
process from a user namespace to system namespace, but not sure if it ever 
was implemented.

Similar issues could happen if admin is using sudo to run the 
installation.

I agree with Michael that Horde could check *.local.php files for issues 
but making PEAR work em... predictably is more important.
