I keep hearing this sentence, but it still doesn't make much sense to me. Invalid configurations should be reported as invalid to the user. Since I run my own server with USE="-* foo bar" I have come across a lot of "expect users to not disable it, but don't actually disallow it or even warn them". I've seen a lot of compiler checks in ebuilds in pkg_pretend that look quite similar. Maybe it's time to enhance toolchain-funcs?
