I don't know any DKIM verifier that modifies the message, and I doubt
that many people would want to use one.

Adding and removing Authentication-Results is probably the most common 
modification.  Removing header garbage may also be fairly popular, 
dunno.  Why do you think it's bad?

At any rate, the paragraph I was referring to is

  The verifier MAY treat unsigned header fields with extreme
  skepticism, including marking them as untrusted or even deleting them
  before display to the end user.
