Actually, I think you are a little off with this statement-

The way the game engine works, an empire's mines are swept one at a time, soo 100 minesweeping capability is applied each time. Therefore, a player is protected against needing to sweep more that 100 at a point no matter how many empires lay mines there.

I do remember asking this specifically a while back. And in all my games, I've seen it work this way, IIRC.
