I was thinking of the in-story excuse (thanks; that's as good a reason as any and I implemented it), but now that I've finally gotten to trying to implement the Mantle restriction, I've bumped into some problems.
Here's how I have it right now; there's two files, the standard Klakar beacon one and a new mantle_klak file.

The only problem with this is that when I make first contact with the Klakar, after acquiring the Mantle, they...do nothing. I don't get the beacon, but I don't get any response or hostility either.
Haven't tested getting the Mantle after making first contact.
The Mantle item has been configured so that you can't sell it.
