Yep.  There's a whole can of worms here - I've seen long threads on
this subject in other newsgroups.  But if you want to keep the asserts
in the production code, by all means come up with an alternate macro
definition or some other method to deal with the error.  Unfortunately,
actaully dealing with the inconsistencies on the fly in a robust way
can be extremely difficult.
