Please don't worry about hypothetical questions such as these. If you are going to go looking for problems, then it is actual examples of problems that are useful. For example, if you could find a spacing problem with @displaymath, that is something we could discuss. Otherwise, discssing hunches of where problems may occur, while leaving it to others to fill in the details, isn't particularly useful methinks.
