I wasn't planning to.

Really I just wanted to get column headers for the otherwise-obscure
"info inferiors" columns...

I think it does, so changing it would not be ok.

Naughty. Though at a quick glance I didn't see where MI does any
printing of the inferiors...?

In this case I think the patch is ok anyway -- an error in "info
threads" does not, IMO, imply that we should propagate the mistake to
other commands. Let me know what you think of this, I won't install
the patch if you feel differently.
