Potentially stupid idea:

Why not implement a special form of the clone command, which reads from
such a full "bundle" file and creates the repo from that bundle?

   $ hg clone packed.hg packed

I don't know if - alternatively - some new option would be needed. Maybe
like this:

   $ hg clone --unbundle packed.hg packed

..which then could not happen any more
