Assuming that this is true, even if this initially causes some chaos, someone will eventually find a simple workaround or the anti-virus companies will simply create signatures to identify and fix/stop/delete infected files. This would just be a short term annoyance at best, or worst case, someone will exploit the code and use it maliciously to destroy all data on a hard drive. Either way, it will be a short term problem. A perfect example was the discovery of using a marker to defeat the copy protection on copy protected CDs.
