One potential hack is to allow Wanted! to be played on turned Runners --
but only allow the attack to happen while that Runner remains unturned. =

This means, of course, that so long as the Wanted-owner has a Location
or Contact for them to visit, the Runner is in the clear.

Almost. Having *two* Wanted!s on different Runners means one would turn
to leave the safehouse, and then the opponent would get an attack on the
second Runner.

It's still weakens the card immensely (maybe it's needed though - the
situation with Wanted can get out of hand) but it's moer or less in
keeping with the RBT.

Another possibility is to drop or replace it; you could always offer a
card like ...

(FUNKY COOL NAME) / Special / 1Y
Play on a Runner you control. If this Runner is killed defending in
Runner-vs-Runner combat, you gain Reputation equal to his deployment
cost.
An opponent may turn one Runner during his Legwork phase to attack this
Runner. Resolve combat as normal.

Sort of like pronouncing Lord Torgo as "win-nah and still champ-een!"
and daring any wannabes to take 'im on. Possibly a good way to prevent
Ice Queen from getting put up on so many post office walls, too.
