Surely it wouldn't be such a big deal to do what some other manufacturers do, and simply stick on a little "use with A/C" label onto the window setting for the vents?

Leave it to the driver to decide what is the best setting to use.
You're free to just crank up the heat and wait.

For fuel efficiency you'd want the car defrosted as quickly as possible so you're not sitting idling, your point seems moot to me. You don't drive without being able to see through the windshield, it takes a slightly higher priority than fuel efficiency, much less expensive to run the A/C (intermittently) than crash into something.

Edit: I realize that you're talking about driving around with the defrosters on because fog keeps building up if you shut it off and turning it off and on is annoying.
