Or, if there is a large enough user base running some faulty logic, this could cause a big ugly fork in the blockchain. Not good.

Yes, that is the primary concern. "We" in the bitcoin community haven't yet figured out how to write 100% correct alternative implementations of bitcoin. We will have to figure out how to do that first before I would ever recommend anybody actually run an alternative implementation as a full node and rely on it for seeing the blockchain.
