Should IDE driver read back parameters after writing them before issuing
the command? That should fix this problem. (except when command
is written badly)

For "normal" usage I suspect not - the lack of ECC memory is probably
more serious as is the lack of PCI parity checking.

I meant for the corruption on IDE cable ... I have 5 UDMA CRC errors over 8 years of usage, so I can imagine someone could have command parameters corrupted too --- or are they transmitted in a more reliable way?
