Hardly a difficult question?  By your own phrasing you are asking about
whether apparently undocumented behavior is likely to change in the future
-- that doesn't strike me as a particularly easy question.  If I were to try
to come up with an answer I'd have to look at the history of the code in
question -- is it an area of code that has been changed a lot in the past,
how stable is it lately, how many open tickets are there at the moment that
might be likely to hit it?  How subtle is this undocumented effect -- is it
something that a relatively minor change might cause a change in behavior or
is it pretty well guaranteed by something fundamental in the way the code is
presently implemented? Etc.

I have no idea what the answer to this question is.  All the information
needed to answer those questions that I would look into to try to come up
with an answer, though, is freely available in the svn history of the code
and in trac.  So you are as likely as anyone (barring someone who knows
offhand, which isn't likely given no answer on -users) to be able to come up
with a reasonably accurate answer.
