For what it is worth, even the uber-paranoid lawyers at Sun and Novell did not require us to verify the source of GPL'd code we used in company products, as long as the GPL was correctly included in the source we were using. The only time we ever had to verify that I can recall were when the included copyright information was in some way non-standard or unclear. Verification certainly isn't a bad option to provide, and if a standard API could make verification automatic, that would certainly be a good thing, but the GPL community has done fine without any verification, so it seems to me that saying there is a 'need' is a bit strong.
