I guess? I mean, I see "something overflowed on the stack and into my randomness buffer" as being similarly common and about as undetectable. That's not to say we shouldn't invest in making APIs that are harder to misuse even if you hold them incorrectly, but I'm not sure the benefits are very compelling here.
