You'd be looking past a conversion in your search, all you'd know is that there
is a mate in, say, 139 if you trade down to five pieces.  You could trace the
move sequence to see how far it is into the 139 moves to another conversion, but
that could take too much time.  There could be many lines that need to be
discarded as pv because the check failed.

There may be ways around this that don't require new TBs, but it would be nice
if there were a standard solution.
