We're likely talking potential side-channel key leakage here...that
sort of thing will be very hard to find. Unit-testing is not
applicable.

The worst thing about this sort of allegation is that it is impossible
to prove that it isn't true. All we will ever be able to say is "We
haven't found it yet."
