It's not meant to be and it causes havoc, from wavy/blurry output to no sync. The other part of the patch on that bug was to walk the crtcs and turn off SSC on the shared refclk if any output could not handle SSC. At that point, an objection was raised that we shouldn't even be touching the refclk if any output was currently being driven from it.

So the correct fix is to turn off everything, disable SSC and turn everything back on? That seems tedious, but not impossible (just DPMS off the world, then DPMS everything back on...).
