This is a bug in core, but I haven't seen it affect anything (so far) except when CiviHoneypot is enabled, at which point you can't submit an event registration (the "Register" button simply doesn't work).
I don't 100% understand why crmValidate()'s absence + CiviHoneypot breaks event registration. Well, I do - you can't submit a form with a field that is both hidden and required. I guess I don't understand how crmValidate fixes it, but I'm reasonably certain my patch is correct.
