Good point. I would suggest that on arrival in Spain you protect yourself by voluntarily visiting an appropriate immigration authority to have your Schengen visa suspended whilst in Spain. On leaving Spain you'd have to do the reverse.Understand what you're saying but - say you arrive at Calais and have your passport stamped then drive down to Spain where you have residence, for 6 months. When arriving back at French immigration on exit, you appear to have overstayed by 3 months so, what happens?
Maybe we'll have our passports stamped "residence in *******" which could explain the overstay but, who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.
I agree that a pain in the rear end but it's one of the many consequences of Brexit I fear.
