No, no, no it's worse than that. What I did was (db.)find_chapter = (db.)backend.prepare("...") when backend was null, and got no error. find_chapter was garbage of course, but there was no error. And only much later, when I called db.find_chapter.bindAll(...) did it react to the garbage data, by messily segfaulting. db was a good pointer, but db.backend was bad, and db.backend.prepare() didn't even flinch getting passed a null this, and dereferencing that null internally to construct Statement(Database,string).
