I'm not convinced Von Neumann debiasing is vulnerable like you think. You're dropping runs (00's and 11's) so you don't care if it's 90% 0 or 90% 1, you care if there's an even number of a run or an odd number of a run.

In other words:

0000000000000001 000000001 001

...are all interchangeable. So biases can change all day.

There are _other_ issues I've seen in real world data, but not this one.
