I think not, and everyone seems at least content to do without this
behavior, at least for now. (I wasn't sure until now which behavior
you were favoring, in the case of an omitted reference pitch.)

Well, the pain is limited to that involved in typing the explicit 'c',
or the extra few letters in \absolute
We will have the following choices, out of which maybe will emerge a
second pattern as generally useful as many people find \relative{} :
\absolute {\key g\major \clef alto \time 3/4
| d'8 d' b4 d' | b g a8 b8 | c'4 a d' | b g4. d'8
| d'4 b d' | b g a8 b8 | c'4 a d' | b g2 }
\fixed c {\key g\major \clef alto \time 3/4
| d'8 d' b4 d' | b g a8 b8 | c'4 a d' | b g4. d'8
| d'4 b d' | b g a8 b8 | c'4 a d' | b g2 }
\relative {\key g\major \clef alto \time 3/4
| d'8 d b4 d | b g a8 b8 | c4 a d | b g4. d'8
| d4 b d | b g a8 b8 | c4 a d | b g2 }
\relative d' {\key g\major \clef alto \time 3/4
| d8 d b4 d | b g a8 b8 | c4 a d | b g4. d'8
| d4 b d | b g a8 b8 | c4 a d | b g2 }
