TBH, doesn't really matter. I think it works fine as is. As long as the claim is inactive, you can come and go and do as you please. It's worth noting that the claim still belongs to the owner, permissions are still in effect, and even though you don't have to use criminal acts or leave scents, it is still flagged as an activity counter to the claim permissions. People can work around it reasonable enough. The first post appears to be as much an edge case in the rules as anything. I'm assuming the "active claim" the item was laid down on was not owned by the character that dropped it, nor had theft permissions on that claim.
