If I were just a reader coming across this, I would silently acknowledge 
it to myself and move on. If I were an editor for something that was 
trying to be formally correct, I would ask the author to reword it to 
avoid uncertain grammar. If I were an editor for something that wasn't 
trying to be formally correct and needed the *neH* there for metrical or 
other reasons, I would let it pass. If I were an editor for something 
that wasn't trying to be formally correct but didn't need the *neH* to 
be there for those reasons, I would ask the author to reword it to avoid 
uncertain grammar.

As a writer, I would follow those same guidelines.
