Passing a CookieJar instead of a cookieproc to urllib2.build_opener

urllib2.build_opener happily accepts and ignores a FileCookieJar. I
had a bug in my code which looked like
urllib2.build_opener(func_returning_cookie_jar())
which should have been
urllib2.build_opener(HTTPCookieProcessor(func_returning_cookie_jar())
The problem is that the code ran happily without actually sending the
cookie, the CookieJar was just ignored. I think that build_opener
should throw an exception when add_handler doesn't actually add.
Is this worth filing a bug for, or is it acceptable behavior?
