Immutable was introduced to prevent dangerous scenarios that weren't
accounted for in original design, etc.  It solved your crash when you
rep;aced a thin-pool with an empty table.

immutable is staying for now.  And as it turns out allowing error target
to override an immutable target was always held to be a logical/possible
future relaxation of the immutable constraint.
