Hey, if users want to do that, they can live with it.  We should
defend against server waywardness, not against users pointing a .44 at
their kneecap.

Spend your effort on saving testers from crashes, instead. ;-)

It's the missing ccl-jit-ucs-2 thing.  I don't know if your recent
patch restoring it fixes things yet.

The reason I don't like the vector of registries patch is that I have
no idea what I prefer; this changes the model in a way that leaves me
not trusting my intuition at all.  The crashes that are showing up
suggests that your intuition isn't particularly well-tuned yet,
either.:-/
