It conforms to the documentation: set_gfx_mode() fails if the requested
mode cannot be set.
Changing what graphics modes are supported doesn't break existing programs
in the sense that they should check the return value of set_gfx_mode().
Add to that that most graphics drivers can be disabled at configure time,
and I don't think such a change would break any program.
