If ever you need to rules lawyer or technicality your way around the Bag-of-Rats rule, then the Bag-of-Rats rule should -definately- apply. The Bag-of-Rats rule is to avoid using technicalities to do broken crap, not to avoid beating on bags of rats.
All that said, the Bag-of-Rats rule came into play when some enterprising young fighter decided to go Whirlwind Attack+Cleave with a bag of rats. He'd Whirlwind Attack, kill an ungodly number of the little rats, and then each dead rat would then let him get a free attack on who he wanted... say... Orcus. The 'bag-of-rats' rule is a direct homage to this cheese and its prevention.
