If you wanted, you could easily solve the gasket problem by simply taking glossy clear tape and surrounding the entire light following the gasket -- that would make sure that 1) the back doesn't come off (as this design is prone to) and 2) would solve any problems with water intrusion.
Granted, it would complicate changing the battery, adding another minute to the process and requiring new tape afterwards, but it would neatly solve those possible problems. And with a batter that probably lasts around 100 hours like the PBSF, you won't have to do it often.
