You might be right, so I'll go back and ask this use case what the
specifics are.

What I'm concerned about is that since this has come up before N times
(for, admittedly, some currently small value of N), we've seen enough
disparate cases of it that we may be missing something bigger, and if so,
doing something defensive in the specification would be prudent.  There's
smoke here, and there may be fire.

Will report back.
