I believe the issue here is that we probably need a test to make sure

it implicitly requires it, and therefore fails when it hasn't been
done.
I will look into this. But, from the way you describe it, I infer
that this should be a mandatory test placed in the suite run by 'make
test' rather than in the quasi-optional-but-highly-advisable-if-
you're-refactoring-op-codes 'make buildtools_tests'. Would that be
correct?
Also good would be a small doc in docs/ about "how to add/delete an
opcode" would be good, as then we have something we can point
committers to.
I don't know much about the opcodes myself. My concern was testing/
fortifying the Perl 5 code which constitutes the scaffolding into
which the opcodes are poured. So maybe someone more knowledgeable
than me can initiate this (perhaps on the wiki!)
