If you're Leif you probably dump the PTF, glance at the machine code,
realise immediately that it's safe, and incidentally find material for the
next chapter of your e-book.

For the rest of us we check the various sources of information such as
mi400@midrange.com . Someone somewhere will be applying the PTFs to see
which of them appear to break Fast/400. Failing that someone somewhere will
be less cautious than us and will post a plaintive "Hey, I installed PTF
XXXXXXX and now Fast/400 ain't working".

I would also expect Tiger Tools themselves to keep a close eye on the PTFs
and issue warnings to their customers. It would certainly be in their
interests to do so.
