there is nothing to say the company has to take in to account an individuals tax position. If they suspend, they suspend, and I hope they do. It will stop the sp from falling off a cliff for a start, we all just have to suck it up and pay. If you want to pay less, then may be you need to reduce your holding beforehand, but no, of course you don't want that, because you want the best of both worlds, you want to get the best tax advantage and then ditch some shares after the date announcement so you can try and pay less, the sp falls, and then that affects the rest of us, who prefer to stay in, so the fairest way to deal with it IMO is to suspend on announcement of the divi date which I think will be the date of the resolution, and shorters will be punished, as they are trapped. Notice their absence now, as there is nothing they can do, because they don't know the date of the resolution! IMO of course.
