No convincing evidences to prove there are not such cases. In my honest opinion, if there are such cases in theory, there will be ones in practice. It is a bad expectation to hope such cases never happen in practice.

The authors of the change did try to prove such cases don't happen in practice, but their proving process is totally breaking.

It is my prediction that multiple instances of broken cases will be uncovered in coming years, in addition to the new foot-gun issues created by the altered semantics of transitional 'for' loops.
