That's correct, I prefer this check to be implemented upfront for this reason. There is no good reason to land this patch with regression tests using dispatchEvent just to change them the next day, when dispatchEvent stops working.

Yes, adding it in @download code path shouldn't be a significant slowdown to getting this feature implemented and enabled in Chrome. As Adam Barth mentioned in comment 64, there is some investigation to do, but it's unlikely to be very difficult.
