Those lugs are glued to the tubes. I don't think the strength of the glue was the problem with Alan frames, but rather lug cracking like this. I don't see why the crack couldn't be similarly glued together. You'd need to clean it out, and find some sort of appropriate epoxy that could be flowed in. But I bet it could be done and be fine, if done right.
