Hypothetically, what is the worst that could happen if we just do the cast and
one of the krb libs *does* touch the buffer?

I can't see how the compiler can do much magic and that will go breakage just
because of that. Or is my imagination just too limited?

I just find it very unlikely that a lib would actually do this, and I don't
think tracking this info down and verifying it sounds like much fun...
