Probably should've added something to the patch for that, actually.
Guess one could check if stdin was a terminal and prevent the fastgrab.

But then there's always the obscure use cases, like if someone sshs in
and tries to do something like
DISPLAY=:0 dmenu -f
in which case, there wouldn't be a lock up and refusing to run would be
silly.

Probably best just leaving it like you said, and treating it with fear.
