[issue29514] Add a test case that prevents magic number changes in minor releases

I don't think it can be submitted in the current state; it's a one-time hack intended to be removed and forgotten at the end of 3.5's lifetime.

I could write a patch with proper support for accepting a range of magic numbers, but such a feature probably won't be needed again.
