I'm falling back to the six tasks for now (three stat file, three include when exists).
In my mind this is a bug; the "ignore_errors" setting should let it keep the partial result. The parallel being that the file module could partially succeed in setting a file owner but SELinux or other methods could deny the setting of the file group. But I'll agree to disagree with you on that point. :-) I could see the addition of the "hash_behavior" as an argument to "include_vars" and let it have the option of "keep_partial" as an extension of merge (replace, merge, merge_partial).
