Sokoban Rolling Boulder Traps (5.0.0)

This is my first 5.0.0 game I'm playing, and it seems like Sokoban now includes rolling boulder traps just before the holes in the levels?

First, it seemed kind-of cool that the boulder being pushed just shoots into the hole once you reach the trap. But then after solving it, it was VERY hard to get my pets past the trap. The pets don't want to swap with me when I'm on the trap (seems like I can't displace them onto it). And they also avoid stepping on the trap really well. But the traps appear in the single width corridor, so it took for ever for them to accidentally step on the trap.

Then once I got my pet to the next level I see right away, there's another trap on the next level (same deal).

Is there some way to remove these traps? "untrap" doesn't work, and the wiki says that activating a trap without a boulder on the launch square should remove the trap, but that doesn't happen.

This is so frustrating without a magic whistle.
