But your audit is incomplete, a grep of 3.1.3 for dst_get_neighbour() and

All these are already covered, or else bad things would already
happened.

No, only warnings (splats as you call them) would be produced. The fact is you added side-effects to dst_get_neighbour(), and I would expect all its invocations to be affected.
