The illegal input states were my concern, indeed. And a quick google
didn't show up anything to disperse these....not until I started reading
the 4046 datasheet in detail. 

But there is one thing about the arangement of the SR FF in the 4046[1]
that bothers me:
Although S = R = 1 is valid, it does lead to the output oscillating
between 0 and 1.
