No, Eiffel fanatics don't like system validity either (too complicated,
difficult to ascertain correctness of checking code). In fact, there
doesn't seem to be a compiler in existence that can do this check at
compile-time.
Current technology seems to do the checks at run-time, which isn't worse
than anything used to solve similar problems in other languages (typecasts
in C++ especially if typesafe, typecase constructs and similar stuff).
*However*, there is a proposal floating around that allows static type
checking without having to resort to system-wide checks, and this is
commonly regarded as an advance over system validity and run-time checks.
