We don't want to hide out of stock attributes, because we may get that variant back in stock. We really don't want to manage backorders, since a significant number of variations are short lived, and we won't get them back into stock, but don't know until we reorder.

I updated SBA from GitHub today, with the same result. ZC 1.5.4

This allows adding product to the cart even if it is out-of-stock and is one of the factors in identifying whether a product can be added that has a zero quantity... So initial question and not trying to be facetious or rude, is which do you want to be able to add product to the cart when it is out-of-stock and to be backordered regardless if it is tracked by SBA, not allow any product to be added to the cart that is out-of-stock or to only limit this possibility for product that is stocked by attributes?

The first two of those three options is directly supported by ZC and SBA, the third would be some form of a code change.
