I'm rather puzzled by the statement "There seems to be no satisfactory workaround".

The posting referenced by Douglas (which is essentially the same one I originally referenced, on a different site) says,

"I have put a fix into the CVS code so that ALLOWHIDDENFILE should work
correctly.
I will email you (off list) a fixed 'rkhunter' program with this fix,
which you should be able to just use as a drop-in replacement. In your
RKH config file you should use 'ALLOWHIDDENFILE=/dev/.initramfs'."

...which is saying that the maintainer has patched the rkhunter code SPECIFICALLY for this bug.
