Relying upon buggy behavior is always a dangerous thing, especially if you
don't know about it.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to know whether there are any
applications that are relying upon buggy behavior.  Given UserData is a
relatively niche feature I think we are probably not taking too much of
risk with fixing it's behavior.
