I don’t know why Biber’s test suite doesn’t do the relevant check, but I don’t think we can it by ourselves. There’s a biber/biblatex compatibility matrix in the biblatex documentation: http://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf (Linked from <https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex>.) I guess we just need to double-check that when updating. I’ve added a comment in the code. Thanks! Ludo’.
