No, I wouldn't do that. I'd wrap the instance of CompiledMethod into an  
InstructionStream using temps | is msg | and check it on the meta level,  
without executing the method and without the possibility that this crashes  
the VM, like

  (msg := is nextInstruction) selector == #pushConstant: and: [msg  
arguments = #(true)].
  (msg := is nextInstruction) selector == #jump:if: and:  [msg arguments =  
#(offset false)]

where offset is the one expected.
