You do state that you're being very defensive and I might almost say this is overboard. Isn't the other developer going to test their code? Surely, when they do the simplest of tests they'll see that the user can still log in - so, then they'll realize what they need to fix. What you're doing isn't horrible or wrong, but if you're spending a lot of your time doing it, it might just be too much.
