No - you're not missing anything.  In the least,
redhat's pam_krb5 doesnt do this check.
>From /usr/share/doc/pam_krb5 on redhat 9:

"The new TGT is validated using a copy of the key for
the local workstation's host service if it is found in
the local keytab file."

So, only if the keytab exists, the check is done.

I think you also need 'validate=true' for this check
to be done.

You should check exactly how your pam_krb5
implementation reacts under these circumstances.
