If you sufficiently specify the runtime environment the proof can still work: Since the array is composed of integers, many C compilers/machine architectures will dictate a maximum size of the array s.t. there can't be overflow.

Touche, and fair enough- although you would expect them to call out that limitation since it's both critical and highly un-general. Bytes are comparable, small, and common enough to at least accommodate an exclusionary statement in the proof.
