What would break?
  Server  -> clientB:   genmove
  clientB -> Server:    PASS
  server  -> clientW:   play PASS
  server  -> clientW:   genmove
  clientW -> Server:    PASS         (W tries to be smart and win)
  server  -> clientB:   play PASS    (the server does NOT stop the game)
  server  -> clientB:   genmove
  clientB -> Server:    d4
  server  -> clientW:   play d4      (W should accept that move)
  server  -> clientW:   genmove      (W should generate a move)
  ...

All that happens is that White would have wasted its move.
