Interesting observation. As a non-developer, what can one do to enhance coverage for these types of scenerios? Fuzz testing?

Fuzz testing absolutely should be used whenever you parse anything.

Yeah, even if you are only parsing "safe" inputs such as ones you created yourself. Other bugs and sometimes even truly random events can corrupt data.
