I wrote this code I started doing after on How to set \topsep=0pt on the latex standard list implementation inside an environment? I find out I could not change the standard latex \list{} environment behavior without patching it:
\PassOptionsToPackage{brazil,main=english}{babel}
\documentclass[
10pt,
a5paper,
twoside
chapter=TITLE,
section=TITLE
]{abntex2}
\pdfstringdefDisableCommands{\let\uppercase\relax}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchcmd{\citacao}
{\list{}}
{\list{}{\topsep=0pt}}
{\PackageWarning{ufscthesisx}{Citation topsep not patched}{The citacao environment must be patched with topsep=0pt but it failed. This is probably dua an update on the main class abnTeX2, the its new update need to be checked and the topsep patch must need to be updated accordingly}}
{}
\begin{document}
Test
\begin{citacao}
Test
\end{citacao}
Test
\end{document}
On the code, I just put the \PackageWarning on the success xpatchcmd clause, for testing purposes. When I know it is working I put it on the failure clause.
Anyways, gives this error, where line 20 is one line after the line defining the \PackageWarning:
Package ufscthesisx Warning: Citation topsep not patched on input line 20.
test3.tex:20: LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

We see the warning seems to be working, but the error makes no sense. I also tried to put this inside my package, and it gives the same error, but now it points out the LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}. is happening inside my package:
Package ufscthesisx Warning: Citation `\topsep ` not patched on input line 81.
