Should it be safeguarded with a preference?
No.  Older versions of Wireshark will ignore name resolution blocks, as does libpcap and hence all programs using libpcap to read pcap-ng files.
I was more thinking along the lines that you might not want to save it.

On the subject of pcapng features should the structs defined in pcang.c (wtapng_block_t and friends) be moved to wtap-int.h and included in the wtap structure to get at things like interface id and info.
