well I would claim it can apply to LaTeX. Not when the header is written 
by the appropriate hook, whether that is \AtBeginDvi or its form in the 
new hook management system.

maybe there was a use case for plain but I  doubt even that. If there is 
content before the header you would need to get rid of it basically by 
getting to the OR and then throwing box255 away and this is not what the 
code does.
