As long as additive laced fluid was between teh linings and teh complete pack wasn't replaced the diff might chatter a little but probably would not blow up under normal driving conditions.

Now it is something that informed owners are armed with, the information that there is no automatic fluid change - and that less than initial ratio of additive to fluid is acceptable.
