Even if there is a workaround this is a bug in cron indeed. So I don't close this report and leave it "confirmed" for now.

Regarding the MAILTO, I think you can set it globally in /etc/default/cron . This file is parsed in cron's init script and will be inherited by cron and it's children.

I hope this helps.
