If you load untrusted code dynamically, it strikes me as wrong to assume anything about its capabilities. Even more so "at the language level". Untrusted code can do anything unless you sandbox it.

You're right but I guess it's perhaps easy to overlook, e.g. that if you decompile/disassemble a valid bytecode program it might give you a program that is not valid at the source level. Some interesting examples and discussion here: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/5364
