But if the pins are connected to something else, we'll be claiming a bad
VID value, which is IMHO worst that clearly stating that VID isn't
supported for that chip.

Maybe more than you think. From my own experience, few people read docs,
but much more do read and tweek config files. And I also guess that our
users are somewhat more experienced ans serious than the average. If
they made it through the installation process, which isn't an easy one,
and the detection process, and are finally getting some results, I think
they are very likely to try fixing incorrect values, either by
themselves or by asking for help on the mailing-list.
