Eh...
you can trust make check as much as you added pixel checking there.

IIRC, the layer masks are handled like:
if ( it's a mask ) { renderAsMask(); }
else { renderMasked(); }
Now, if the mask is out of clipping bounds, and next is not,
the danger is you'd skip rendering the mask but still render
the maskee. Details may make this a non-issue..

right, that's what I was talking about...

I didn't notice any problem, but wasn't a deep test.
