There's a disconnect between the -ui switch and operations that
require a UI. That's why I suggested piping the output to /dev/nul so
as not to clutter up the screen (untested).

I don't think it's a big mystery - any sort of a UI operation: go to
card x, show field, etc, might well have assertions to make sure the
engine isn't going to grobble off the end of the road. I think that's
a proper use of assertions, but there should also be a check to make
sure that we're not in -ui mode beforehand.
