Comment (by bobbingwide):

 OK, resolution accepted.
 But I never did find out the WordPress strategy towards parameter
 validation and error handling. I do hope it's not as bad as wpStoreCart's
 was! Perhaps there's an opportunity to add some notes to the
 [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/developer/faq/ developer] plugin to
 say that setting WP_DEBUG to true doesn't help you catch all the problems!

 In reply to Andrew Ozz's ( azaozz ) comment see

 expect.html

 The upshot of the story in the link was that we developed very powerful
 exception handling for our APIs.
