I can assure you that this is not the case, I have fitted a great many pots both switched and un-switched without a locating lug and it is not a problem. As someone else pointed out the job of the locating tab is not to prevent the nut coming loose, that is the job of the washers, the lug is just there to locate the pot and prevent it turning while the nut is being tightened during assembly.
