Could you get them to say why ?

This is not necessarily a big change, it may be as little as 
1-N bit wide sequence number which increments in every frame.

I raised this issue because I have seen any mention of
frame-desynchronization or detection probabilities thereof anywhere
at all ?

I agree that sooner or later something will blow up, my question is
if "later" is soon enough or of we should do something to increase
probability of detection.
