Would a weird thought that tangentially reveals something need spoilers?

For instance, for those who've read Klava with Honey

I read the introduction of the new character, and started wondering if
SKZB was planning a Monty Python joke that he'd laid the groundwork for
years ago, to wit, the possibility of the following reply as to how he
knew Sethra

"She turned me into a teckla"
"A teckla?"
"I got better."

(Presumably we are not going to find out that Sethra weighs as much as a
duck, and that's how everyone found out she was undead, nor that there's
a Serioli town called Antioch that specializes in Morganti hand
grenades.)

Anyway, opinions on whether that would need spoiler protection?
