That's a rather good question, but in truth the inclusion of Walter is likely meant as little more than a cameo, or indeed just to get people excited for the new books. I would need quotes on how he appears within the books to really make a decision, but right off that bat I'm simply not absolutely sure.

If, for instance, the worm appears solely as a background character, then I don't think it invalidates the story. We would need a huge shift in how the books are written to over-rule them for including one character.
