How did you prove a particular code path was even taken in a BPF
program ? This is new to me.

As I said, it is possible some guys never noticed their BPF program were
'broken' because this invalid shift was hidden in a dead code part.

So a program might appear as 'weak' when in fact its behavior was
absolutely correct.

You assume everybody uses libpcap, this is wrong, and for very obvious
reasons.

Try to encode the QUEUE, RXHASH, or CPU instructions in libpcap, for a
start.
