It is a good way of testing the seal, however you can mask the leak temporarily. If the leak is small the vacuum you create will make you believe that there is a seal. If you immerse the reed up to the string in water and blow the leaks will show themselves.
I recall Ms. Douvas going on about this at a masterclass many years ago and it makes a lot of sense.
As far as leaking reeds go, I usually chuck them. I don't like that weird feeling of saran wrap, or goldbeaters skin. The thought of that slimy goldbeaters skin floating around in my little film canister takes me way back to my first year of playing. Ah... the memories.
