It won't panic if you drop the callback on the floor.

Though to your point, the ->next pointer is likely also trashed. So you
could just drop the remainder of the callback list on the floor. That
might provide a good (though not perfect) chance of getting decent output.

My concern is that there will be increasing numbers of special cases
over time.
