This issue with incorrect implementations reminds me of the compatibility issues that cause issues with new SSL/TLS standards. These implementations led to compatibility workarounds that introduced security issues that had to be eventually fixed by TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV. It's not our problem if their code breaks because they made incorrect assumptions regarding the standard. The polite thing would be to submit a patch so that Bitcoin nodes can update before we make the change. -- Jesse
