The problem I have is that of the worst case situation. If a new version of Bagle (or something else) were written to trigger damage on receipt of "43ffffff0000000004120"
You got a point, but what about the thousands of other know exploits/holes out there.
If eg. the "good" old Unicode Directory Transversal hole was used by a virus. I mean, used as in a virus infects a server, and set up this trap. As Nessus comes by and tests for the hole, BAM the virus formats C (or something similar). It would be virtually impossible to make a scanner that couldn't be a trigger like that.
