Now that the magic-block patch is in, we need to revisit this bit of the
discussion. I'm for making lack of a magic block an ERROR immediately.
I don't see the point of waiting; in fact, if we wait till freeze we'll
just make the breakage more concentrated. At the very least it ought
to be a WARNING immediately, because a LOG message is just not visible
enough.
Comments?
