Yeah, I think the same. If you want to argue grammar, I'd point
out that the "any" could refer to several of the constraints,
making it correct to use the plural verb. The alternative that
Justin mentions could be written as "If any one constraint is ...",
which is correct in that form; but the plural way seems less stilted.
