I don't think so. Even if the cap comes completely off, I'm fairly sure it's still considered solved.

You could even lose a few caps (for now) and still not get a DNF.

Is there an actual rule for this, or is it just understood that since they can only go back in one way the cube is unambiguously solved?

If two adjacent caps are in place then the cube should be solved.

Yep, I believe that's it.

I think 5^3 and megaminx could as well be added to the list. I've already seen comps where the 5^3 event took ages because tha scramblers failed at scrambling correctly but still insisted on giving the correct scramble to everybody.

Megaminx doesn't even have a picture (yet).
