I would think it is the syntax-error. There is nothing wrong about
reporting an incorrectly formed policy and nothing sacred about type
incorrectness. This is what status codes are for.
Does your language interpreter or compiler just die in silence if there is a
typo in the code?

This is the same problem as D024. This policy is not well formed. It is
type incorrect. There should be no status code, because it should not
even
be hinted at that it should be evaluated.
