On top of that, has anyone considered that perhaps Obi-Wan wanted Luke and Vader to find each other.  Vader clearly knows by ESB that Luke is his son (unless you take into account the 04 Emperor lines, but even then, Vader could be feigning ignorance).  While initially  protecting him till better aware, I suspect Ben wanted to allow events to unfold with Luke and Vader colliding.  Of course this is a convenient retcon anyway, but a reasonable one to me.
