Yes, this does seem anomolous, although as pointed out this 
affects the usefulness of SETI.  Do we know the Civ2 behaviour
for this (both ordinary research, and SETI) ?

Well, it should be a ruleset option/field of course :-)

Basically, the requirement itself should be a ruleset field
(per building), and then you could have a separate field or 
flag (again preferably per-building) of whether/how it worked 
if the requirement was subsequently lost.
