I disagree. I think users should be aware of any breakage up front, and center. We encourage drivers to recognize warning signs in the operation of their vehicles; we should do the same with browsers. Hiding information from the user is not ethical.
Then again, I also think people should be taught better than to hop on the Web without any training or knowledge. Computers and illiteracy go together about as well as books go with illiteracy. It takes effort to be computer literate, and hiding the information will make that journey to literacy more daunting than it needs to be.
