I think it's not that Starfleet considers him an active problem; more that his psychological profile likely becomes of profound importance following the events of Worf 359, and his potential responses in the face of battle are noted. Once SF started introducing counselors into the crew-mix, probably just the end result of a long integration of psychological profiling, it stands to reckon that the administrators handling assignments would take into account potential responses as much as actual needs. That's why I think the selection of P and J as diplomatic-type captains is so important in contrast--it's as much a predictive model as it is need-based.
That's my initial theory, anyway. But I'm apparently incapable of spelling words without assistance at this moment, so I'll come back and try to clarify later, when I have brain cells.
