It's not user-visibile, so it doesn't need a bug.

Hardening test cases are intrinsically difficult to write and probably 
of little value.  You need to make sure that change not merely breaks 
one specific case, but entire exploitation strategy.  Otherwise, why 
bother with adding this kind of hardening?
