Punch the hole though interface is a bad idea. And probably the worst one you can do. You 'should' just ignore the other side of the interface. And if that don't work. Fix the issue there (by yourself or find the code holder) instead of try to workaround from your end. Or if it always require change on both end, it's a hint that your interface isn't designed properly (thus always glue the the end together instead of separate it).

I hate it so much when people assume they are smart and workaround issue at other end of interface. It always end up that you need to understand both the workaround and original bug or you can't even read it.
