While I can imagine some implementations of port knocking, where failed

That's precisely what I mean. Combine port knocking, automatic IP block, and IP address spoofing and you have a very easy denial of service. I am aware that there are workarounds to this, but if you have to work around a basic function of your security system then you're using the wrong security tool.
