I believe that case has been thought of.  The thing that is marked as 
FP or not, is a task.  A task that is not marked as FP cannot by 
definition call a routine that is in a task that does use FP.  No 
problem here.

A routine that is compiled with no-implicit-fp is valid to use in a 
no-FP task, provided there is no explicit fp in it.  A routine that 
isn't compiled with this flag isn't valid to use in a non-FP task.

It does not.  It multilibs softfloat.  On softfloat system, the entire 
implicit-fp issue it a non-issue, so we don't care about those.  The 
only case we care about is by definition on hardfloat systems, when the 
context switcher may, or may not save/restore the FP regs.
