I don't think it can since that means that both the target and the point

Maybe that should also be done.

You're right, assertions are there to inform the developer that either the entry data to the module is incorrect or that an internal error has occurecd. In either case the module (IK) should be fixed so that the assertion is no longer fired - by returning a suitable error code in the first case or by fixing the internal problem in the second. Sounds to me like this is an example of the first case...
