No, it's not that complicated a ruling, it's very simple: It's the same advantage or disadvantage and it doesn't get duplicated. And, stacking because of a bonus or penalty from a separate source doesn't complicate that ruling, nor does it invalidate it because that bonus or penalty comes from a different circumstance than the Race-based bonus/penalty.

When put in that light it makes perfect sense. And the items are stackable because an item will help any race or class equally. As for using multiple class abilities, that's slightly different. A class is a job something trained for so it's also perfectly reasonable that a cleric bard could resurrect the Plutonium Dragon and enthrall another munchkin with enough bonus because s/he is trained in both skills.
