If you found something like that you could simply check your friends list and if no one was there stop playing that character and play a different one
When someone eventually appeared then you could ask them to hold it as you mule, which is probably the best way to transfer something even now
I'd suggest that there are the following categories:
1) Godly items worth stopping the game for. You simply don't let these ever hit the ground nor do you play on in Hardcore with one in your stash unless you accept the risk
2) Pretty decent items well worth saving. Next time a mule game comes up, ask someone to hold it
3) Stuff that is useful but isn't quite good enough to ask someone to hold it. Gems, medium runes and so on. Mule this stuff a bit at a time. In 1.09 we would have emptied it out then gone to get mules. Now I imagine we'd drop the gems, get the gem mule, get the playing character again, drop the runes, get the rune mule etc
4) Stuff that was pretty marginal and you were only keeping because you were a pack rat - don't bother
Not all that different except for more caution with the good stuff and a little more tedium with the mid-level stuff. If we become more discerning then that should balance out
Now I don't like this change either but it's hardly a crisis
