I have just uploaded version 1.18-pre4[1] with the effect of '--reopen-on-error' limited to the copying phase, but reopening the input file also on slow reads (i.e., every time ddrescue skips ahead).
A slow speed while reading sector by sector (while trimming, splitting and retrying) may help to read more sectors, as the kernel developers intend.
I have also changed the default value of '--min-read-rate' to 0 (auto), so that slow areas are skipped by default. Maybe the default value (average_rate / 10) is too low and will need furter adjustment.
