if it was not a bug, it wouldn't be producing any error messages.
independent of log level. there should be some if (!ptr) return; in there
if NULL are valid handles.

In my point of view, NULL is as invalid as incorrect magic
(EINA_MAGIC_NONE). You were expecting something and got something else.

Getting more concrete about your usage: could you provide some cases where
NULL is hurting you and it shouldn't? Would be better to fix the usage of
magic check?
