Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 Talked to @mattheweppelsheimer in person at WC Seattle and I agree
 throwing a `_doing_it_wrong()` is the best approach.

 The docs already reflect the limitation fairly well, and I think it's been
 established that few if any devs really even check the result of
 `register_post_type()` or `register_taxonomy()` for that matter.

 +1 (including @jorbin's changes).
