Comment (by Rarst):

 I still disagree that this needs a code change.

 1/2 code return seems to be a legacy thing that is not in active use by
 core.

 The very worst case scenario here is that nonce is only valid for 12 hours
 (instead of maximum possible 24), which I think is still reasonable amount
 that causes no issues in practice (or we would be permanently swamped in
 complaints about it).

 Could you please elaborate why is it important for your needs to rely on
 1/2 return?
