By his own definition the second pair would not be hooked to
the second line since he intercepts it for the signalling.
Assuming anything is on the second pair is risky, since the
phone company has used all number of things on the line from
power to special local hacks.  If the idea of accidentally
shorting a second line bothers you, use a 100 ohm resistor in
the loop.  This should be innocous even if the modified phone
was plugged into a two line jack.
