But then clean client should check the content of the IDP extension after getting the CRL and check it's distribution point matches the distribution field of the CDP, and if not refuse the CRL, and supposedly try the next crldp inside the cert.

I'm a bit sceptic it really works, but if the CRL's IDP is marked critical as it should, maybe a good number of client will duly reject the CRL when they can not support that case.
