In that case, where do we draw the line? Say pthread has a bug and it
doesn't spawn threads. Worse, it doesn't even return any error value.
Should we mitigate that too?

I'd say stick with what's documented (abort on OOM and/or !NULL
returned) and make our lives simpler. In fact, if we'd crash because we
accessed NULL we will immediately see where and why and can report the
bug to glib for benefit of us and others.
