As long as the consequence of running such code on a non-btver2 CPU is merely performance, not correctness.
I seem to remember that being a concern in the first attempt at turning off vzeroupper, years ago.  Something about the consistency of behavior of code in a library, IIRC, when caller and callee were compiled for different CPUs and did not have the same concept of whether the upper parts had been zeroed.  Sorry I don't remember the specifics better than that, and I certainly don't know enough about the microarchitectural details to say one way or the other.
