"if someone relies on this and uses it the wrong way"
The wrong way for you might be the perfect solution for someone else. Once things are being used, you have no idea how people will use them, and they will likely use them in ways you didn't anticipate.
If you go using code in a way contrary to its documentation, you can't expect semantic versioning to have semantic value to you.
Nothing in there stops you. You are perfectly free to hack anything in your code. But it's completely outside of your relationship with the author, and frees him from any problem an update may cause you.
