Byte Code Enhancement

I recently posted some concerns about byte code enhancements (BCE). I've tried to do a little research on the matter, but there isn't much information about it on the internet. However, having thought about the issue a little further, I've realized that, conceptually at least, there is no difference between trusting byte code enhanced classes and trusting a 3rd party library. If a 3rd party has written poor code, you're going to get bugs either way, and both cases are out of your control. Just something to be aware of, though: if there are errors in your enhanced classes, your class is still going to appear in the exception call stack - so be ready with your explanations when irate users or developers moan at you!
