You appear to have identified a problem that needs fixing, but the
patch is fairly obviously wrong.
You've removed a test and error message that could apply to any level
change, and added a test and error message that only applies to some
specific level changes.
Why does that error message no longer apply to all the other possible
level changes?
The test that you have added is mostly OK ... but you missed something.
Look around and similar nearby code.
The test you removed certainly should stay.
