I installed a more-conservative change instead as trunk bzr 112869:
it causes Emacs to check that a file monitor is indeed a Lisp integer
after conversion, and causes gfile-add-watch to throw an exception
otherwise.  (Another possibility might be to emacs_abort () on this
sort of failure.)

If we run into a platform where glib file monitors aren't valid Lisp
integers, we can create a new Lisp_Misc etc. then, but perhaps we'll
get lucky and not need to do it.
