Would accepting such a "merge oops-do-not-do-anything" allow
exporters' job to be simpler?

Without a convincing "it makes sense to treat this nonsense request
as a no-op" argument, I fail to see why this is a change in the
right direction.  If there are two other nonsense request that
silently become no-op, shouldn't they be diagnosed as bugs in the
input stream, or do these two have valid uses?

Very confused.
