Unfortunatly many people will just turn the validation off because they don't
know how to solve the problem and it seems to `work good enough`.

Integrate running the ICEs into your build process and you'll know as
soon as you do this by accident as they check for this. They also
check for lots of other problems like this. I think that's why the
compiler/linker doesn't issue any warnings/errors about this problem
or other inconsistencies: they expect that you'll run the ICEs to
validate that your setup has no known problems.
ICEs are unit tests for MSI based installs.
