Assuming the current behavior is a bug (which I still believe to be the case), in order to actually make use of the bug fix, you have to pass the parameter. This will make your code break on old versions. But, that's a GOOD thing. If you don't use the flags approach, your code will silently fail on the old versions.

Whether it will fail depends on the code. It will silently behave differently, but it will not (necessarily) fail.
