Filing a W-4 means nada - it's what the rules regarding IC status say not what one may do. So long as everyone follows the rules as set by the IRS there should be no problem.
On the state level there have been several attempts over the years to force those in IC status to pay into workers comp, unemployment &/or disability funds. I am not aware of any state being successful winning a court challenge on this issue (I could well be wrong here).
