This is good because it is helpful to users.

In cases like this I would actually consider to write a bit in the
bindings saying "this is inconsistent because we screwed up
so be careful", standard bodies usually try to avoid that kind of
statements because they have all kind of prestige involved
with their work, but we don't so we can just as well admit it.

Yours,
