Comment 4 for bug 1055522

Stéphane, considering how long this has been lingering, the impact it has on users and the availability of an easy stop-gap measure, I disagree with your assessment. Again, think 80/20.

"detects if there is no valid (AKA empty) pasteid, meaning an error of some sort has occured" <- that should be easy enough to accomplish and would go a long way in eliminating a bulk of the impact of this problem. Can we please look more seriously into such a stop-gap measure?
