My answer is simply "No", you don't have to maintain backward
compatibility for non-standard tx.
The same question applies to P2SH. Before the deployment of BIP16, one
could have created a time-locked tx with one of the output was in the
form of HASH160 <hash> EQUAL. The <hash>, however, is not a hash of a
valid serialized script, so the output is now permanently frozen.
It also applies to all the OP codes disabled by Satoshi: one could have
created a time-locked tx with those now disabled OP codes.
Same for BIP65 with the use of OP_NOP2. Following your logic, we can't
make any softfork related to the script system.
I think it is very important to make it clear that non-standard txs and
non-standard scripts may become invalid in the future
