Comment (by jeremyfelt):

 I've been bitten by this several times. It does seem common to not check
 the response of `register_post_type` and this would be pretty helpful.
 There is precedence in something like `add_theme_support()` which returns
 false and uses `_doing_it_wrong()` if an array of types is not passed.
