One possible justification (albeit a weak one) is that if one

this may subtly change the behavior of the program (particularly in

dangling pointers, etc...). ...

 
If you rely on that you're misusing the language anyway.
 

It is a poor practice, but seemingly does occur in the wild (intentional
or not).

It seems to me that kind of thing does tend to get flushed out of open-
source code. Because such code is often compiled with different compilers,
on different architectures, using different tool chains etc. And
assumptions like these tend not to survive such treatment.
